I did make a special trip up there this week .... the Woods train left the Green Mountain mill at 8 a.m., drifted through Ostrander at about 11:30 a.m. That train had two SW1500s, the WTCX GP9 and the two Columbia and Cowlitz geeps .... is the C&C pretty much dormant, therefore their units are available for Woods line? Train had 15 chip cars, 25 lumber cars (longer than I expected).
There also was a garbage train that came dowen the hill about 30 minutes earlier, four endcab switchers were the power.
Very cool operation, worth the trip from Bay Area.
