I believe that they operate on a five or six day schedule. The north end switcher originates at Corning in the AM and works south to around Dunnigan where it swaps cars with a Switcher that works north from Woodland.
There seems to be a lot business on this line, most added since Cal Northern took over. What is left of the old Hamilton City branch is filled with stored center beam flats.
The signals are still working and some have been replaced with the newer style.
Finally, the bridge at Richfield, north of Corning, that had been out of service for years because of damage to one of the piers was repaired a couple of years ago. The line from here to Tehama is only used for storage at this time.
