Sierra Railroad Freight Train, June 30th 2009

With the impending closure of Sierra Pacific's ex-Pickering Lumber mill in Standard, CA it would seem that the Sierra Railroad is on shakey ground at best. As I am leaving this coming Friday, I thought it best to increase my meager number of photos of their freight operations.
Last Tuesday's train was powered by Sierra's ex-ATSF GP20u #50.
