That last pumpkin train on October 27 drew quite a crowd. I was over at my mother-in-law's off Oberlin Road cleaning up her yard when #19's whistle echo came...
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...
I posted some photos of the EMD 567B 8-Cylinder Engine which was removed from SW8 YW #21. It was sitting out in front of the locomotive barn last Saturday...
Because the ailing SW8's and MRS-1 Alco could not be depended on to handle the freight traffic any longer, SD9 LMLX 439 was brought to the Yreka Western as a...
Greetings: There is a post on another discussion board to the effect that one of the Harriman passenger coaches on the YW has been moved to Montegue where it...
Over the weekend I had business in Yreka. Though I didn't have time to get over to the depot and do my customary browse through, I did glance over as I passed...
Yes, one of the Harriman's, which has recently been used on the Blue Goose, is leaving. It was taken to Montague where loading onto a truck is much easier....

Tim- Very interesting...thanks for the information. Do you happen to have a car number on this boxcar under conversion? I assume that it came from the...
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 ...
Does anyone have any information on time and days the Yreka Western operates freight trains? What are they currently using for power? Any information would be...
I'll have more definitive info after this Saturday's rules class. But, from what I've heard through CORP not much is coming out in the way of veneer or chips....
The YW currently uses No. 21 an ex-SP SW-8 for switching. The YW typically runs freight Monday-Friday and usually in the mornings if I remeber correctly. We...
Sooooo...if TP is not loading any cars right now, then what else does the YW have to haul? Last time I passed through TP was the only shipper of any real...
The only other thing that the YW hauls in that I know of is the occasion tank car for Suburban Propane, which is probably only a few cars per year. I think the...
As of right now, TP is not shipping by rail on the YW. TP took CORP and RA at their word that service would cease on April 15 and made arrangements to truck...
Larry, Thanks for the update on the information on the YW. I was considering trip north to try to shoot YW freight operations. But with the cost of gas I did...
We went to Coos Bay OR on Saturday 4 26 2008 to check out the Oregon Coast Historical Railway. They have been working on the former Coos Bay Lumber #104...
The only thing I heard, was maybe using the diesel to pull some short excursion trains around the Coos Bay yard area,after getting the tracks operational....
