This kinda looks like the wye at McCloud. I think the train was a special train of the first 100 loads of Shevlin-Hixon (Shevlin-Hixon owned McCloud Lumber at the time or something like that) lumber to be sent out towards Lookout Jct on the GN. I'm going from memory on this though. The event was sometime in the mid 30's. The train was double headed with the 19 on the lead and the 14 trailing, and looks like there's another engine cut in mid-train. Not sure where the 19 is in this photo, but she carried a couple of large banners on the front and sides of the tender. The train was posed in downtown McCloud at the depot, and I'm assuming it's backing up the line towards Signal Butte so they can then head down the line to Hambone and Lookout Jct.
