A westbound Shasta Route train approaches Bray, California on Memorial Day weekend 1994.
The Coast Starlight passes through Bray on a clear mountain morning. The train is on time, no doubt because of the Southern Pacific business car at the rear of the train.
On a balmy January afternoon, a lumber drag heads west on the Shasta Route.
Storm clouds gather over Mount Shasta as a BNSF detour train grinds upgrade toward Grass Lake summit.
Passing through the "ghost town" community of Bray at 3:30 in the afternoon in below freezing temperatures, a southbound is a few short miles from the summit at Grass Lake.
Rolling down from the summit at Grass Lake, this manifest is scooting right along with a large cut of mechanical reefers for Hinkle, OR.
