One small correction for you David...the "Harriman" coaches in Yreka did not come from McCloud. McCloud had two of those cars, the early 60' "Harriman" coaches, both of which they conveyed to the Dunsmuir Chamber of Commerce about 1980. They got away from the SP local crew while switching in Dunsmuir and headed south, eventually wrecking at Sims. One coach was reportedly scrapped at that point, the other was brought back up to Dunsmuir and used up until about 1985, when Fred swapped an ex-NP caboose (still just off I-5 in Central Dunsmuir today) to them for the coach, which he brought back to McCloud for use on a handful of excursions in 1985 and 1986, along with that old Trailer Train flat. Fred sent the flat off to the YW sometime after 1986, but the Harriman coach remained in McCloud, it is still there today. I'm not sure from where or when Fred got the three SP 72-foot "subs" the YW used, but I'm about 99.9% certain they never passed through McCloud.
