The McCloud River Rattler of 1963 at Ditch Creek on its return trip to McCloud. The excursion is on the line the railroad built beyond this point in 1954-1955, while
the two tracks in the foreground are the continuation of the lumber company's Spur 400 main line that continued many miles to the east as its maximum extent. By 1955 the spur only extended a short ways into the woods
to the site of a truck to railcar reload; the last logs the McCloud River Railroad hauled after U.S. Plywood shifted all log hauling to trucks came out of this spur. C.G. Heimerdinger Jr. photo, Jeff Moore
collection.
