Need some Rainier photo locations...help

In the summer of 1960 I paid a quick visit to the Rayonier operation north from Hoquiam. My recollection of that trip and of the details of the Rayonier operation have faded over time. Specifically I cannot recall the location of most of the pictures I took, which can be found here:

Rayonier Pics

Any help with locations and what might be going on would be helpful is stimulting my own memory. In particular there is a series of three pix, with the 14 leading a train, the 90 pushing the 14's train, and then the 90 with its own train. In the picture of the 90 with its own train, in the distance is a switch target and the rear of the train appears to be coming out of a siding. I have a vague memory of the 90 helping the 14 up a hill and then droping back to the siding and picking up its own train. Wondering if anyone can confirm that was a common practice. Any help is identifying what is going on will be appreciated. Don't pay much attention to the existing caption material, it may or may not be correct.
