On Saturday (3/9/2008) the Yreka Western Baldwin Mikado was pulled out of its winter snooze to pull a wedding train from the Yreka Station to the Shasta River...
Perhaps the change to DST got you ahead of yourself, but the wedding must have been on 3/8/2008, not 3/9. ;-) Also, was Fireman Tuttle keeping sober vigilance,...
Larry, Nice shots, especially that last one. While I can see why you would like to filter out that tree that partially blocked the view of Shasta, it is a...

Jeff, I don't have the numbers on the car, but it was an ex City of Prineville boxcar. The old COPR logos were painted over, but you still see through them....
Tim- Thanks for the reply. Itel Rail sold all of these old Incentive Per Diem boxcars to GE Capital back in 1992, and the McCloud Railway got about 17 of them ...
