    The last train of 2023 on the NCOR's Shasta Division was a Roseville - Portland bound manifest. Happy New Year to all.

            Peak season intermodal traffic allowed some power to escape the Southwest on the Brooklyn Z train as it heads for Portland.

                    CSXT's LO70 makes its way to the interchange in Mattawamkeag with roughly 2800 feet of traffic for the NB&M.

                          Andrew, those trees look fantastic!

                          YR-1 job rolling through Newhall, bound for Portland.





                          RY-2 Extra runs an empty ethanol train over the former MEC Mountain Division route. Normally these ethanol cars are blocked into the regular RY-2 job, but today there was enough empties to require and extra job.
