DUNSMUIR NIGHT PHOTOS 1960'S

THE FOLLOWING PAGE OF NIGHT PHOTOGRAPHS WERE ALL TAKEN IN THE 1960'S NEAR AND AROUND THE DUNSMUIR DEPOT AND INCLUDE MANY TAKEN ON THE TURNTABLE. THIS TURNTABLE IS ONE OF THE LAST LARGE TURNTABLES STILL IN OPERATION ON A CLASS ONE RAILROAD. THERE IS NO ROOM IN THE NARROW CANYON FOR A WYE TO TURN LOCOMOTIVES OR EQUIPMENT SO THE TURNTABLE STILL SERVES A USEFUL SERVICE LONG AFTER STEAM WAS RETIRED.

THE SNOWS HAVE ALL MELTED AS THE SOUTHBOUND "CASCADE" MAKES ITS EARLY MORNING STOP. THE CONDUCTOR USES THE LIGHTS OF THE STATION TO READ HIS ORDERS BEFORE THE DARKENED TRAIN PROCEEDS DOWN THE SACRAMENTO RIVER CANYON
