Yreka Western MOW member, Gary Moran, drives a spike into a new tie during repair work to take out a bad kink at the eastern end of the chip track and Timber Products's veneer plant in Yreka. The sawdust and bark piles in the background are from Shasta Forest Products's bark mill, which is located on the opposite side of the YW's mainline from Timber Products.
A tribute of appreciation to the workers who maintain the track, keeping our railways in shape regardless of weather and danger, and keeping them running effeciently.
