Below is a photo of McCloud River Lumber Company #50, a sister car to the #52, used in the same service. The converted truck is long gone, but the caboose shown behind it ended up off-rail in Pondosa, where it sat for many years before being rescued and restored by the Shasta-Cascade Rail Preservation Society. Details on the car are found in the Crew Cares page of this section. |
