Approaching Stacy, California, on the Nevada state line is a westbound Union Pacific log train on March 10, 2003. The 60-car unit train is made up of timber salvaged from the devastating 2002 Rodeo-Chediski fire that struck the White Mountain Apache reservation in Arizona. The logs were loaded at Globe and shipped on the Arizona Eastern to Bowie, interchanged to UP and shipped west to California. UP then took them up the Coast and back east through Feather River Canyon to Flanigan where they went west on the old Southern Pacific Modoc line (where photo is taken) to Wendel. Shortline Quincy Railroad then finally hauled them to the Sierra Pacific Industries mill at Susanville, California. The mill at Susanville has since closed, and both the Quincy Railroad-Susanville Division and UP Flanigan Industrial Lead were later abandoned.
