6A, recently returned to service following some repairs, thunders into Menzies Creek with the first train of the day.
Angang-type pine trees have relatively curved trunks, creating a dreamy landscape with traces of time. It was nice to see the individual shapes of the trees as if they were looking at a group of free-thinking humans, but they seemed to give comfort and comfort at the same time. ⓒ SolHyanggi

Pinus wallichiana is a coniferous evergreen tree native to the Himalaya, Karakoram and Hindu Kush mountains, from eastern Afghanistan east across northern Pakistan and India to Yunnan in southwest China. It grows in mountain valleys at altitudes of 1800–4300 m (rarely as low as 1200 m), between 30 m and 50 m in height. It favours a temperate climate with dry winters and wet summers.

Pinus sabiniana - The so-called candles, the new shoots of the pines, appears at this taxon already in the autumn and the growth will be completed only next spring!

Wappo - náyo; Wintu - xisi (unripe pinenut), chati (ripe pinenut); Yana - c’ala’i
Because the foliage is gray green, lacy, fairly open it is sometimes called the 'See-through Pine'
It has widely been named digger pine due to its wide use by Native American tribes collectively and colloquially referred to as "diggers." However, that term has fallen into disgrace. As explained by Hunter (1991): "many Native Americans find the term digger offensive. A spokesman, who requests anonymity, for the California State Native American Heritage Commission says, "The word `digger' is very derogatory and insulting to California Indian people." A historical interpreter, who also requests anonymity, for the California State Indian Museum in Sacramento agrees: "To call a California Indian a `digger' means you are either ignorant or you are purposely trying to insult him. It is a very derisive word." These observers concur in the opinion that "the term digger is as offensive to California's Native Americans as the term 'nigger' is to African Americans." The terms "foothills pine" or "gray pine" are now officially preferred. Christopher J. Earle
Habitat and Ecology:Pinus sabiniana grows in the summer-dry mountains and foothills that encircle the Central Valley of California, from the edge of the Mojave Desert to the slopes above the Pacific Ocean. Its altitudinal range is from 50 m to 1,800 m a.s.l. Annual precipitation varies much within its range, from 250 mm per annum near the desert to 1,780 mm at its upper limits in the Sierra Nevada. It grows inland from the coastal fog belt and does not tolerate hard frosts. Near the coast, it grows in the chaparral zone with ericaceous shrubs which is subject to frequent fires. On the lower slopes of the Sierra Nevada it grows in the Upper Sonoran Life Zone, mainly accompanied by various species of Quercus, as it does at higher elevations in the Coast Ranges. Here Pinus coulteri can be an associate, in the north of its range it grows with Juniperus occidentalis. The woodlands with P. sabiniana are usually very open, with trees emerging from shrubs or standing in areas covered with sparse grasses and herbs. The heavy cones are predated by squirrels and jays, the former can detach cones from the trees and gnaw through the thick scales to obtain the seeds, the latter play a role in seed dispersal and germination.
Or Arolla (Stone Pine), a five needle pine. A pioneer tree which grows at the upper limit of forest, around 2000-2200 m. The most winter hardy, able to whithstand minus 40°C !
