WP and GN units, Klamath Falls
Western Pacific U30B # 768 idles at the sand tower MU'ed with 760, 769, and 763. In the background GN GP-9 706 in the Big Sky Blue scheme idles outside the engine house along with the 704 and other GP-9s and SD-9s. The WP power is a run through from the Inside Gateway and will return south on the next freight bound for California. The WP units run through from Oroville via the Feather River Canyon, WP's Highline, and GN’s southern extension. Four years ago, most trains exchanged units at Beiber, but this practice has given way to the units being better utilized either as run-throughs are via on-line unit exchanges.
