Up the Creek Column - 6
11: The two Bear Creek Haulers, east and west,
are meeting at South Jackson. David H. (between
Joe and Brandon) has just brought BCHW into the
yard after ascending the helix (off to the right) from
Pocatello (in main staging).
Strangely, BCHW went from the main to the siding
(under the yellow roofed car) then back to the main
again – a bit curious, perhaps a result of this being
the first meet in this yard during an op session.
Joe F., in the background, appears to be checking his
car cards.

9: Joe Fugate is intent on bringing train BCHE safely
down the 2.8% grade from Oakhill toward Tunnel 3.
Behind Joe is the very first piece of the main deck
roadbed on the peninsula.
10. Jim B. (left) is the Redland local switch crew
tonight. Jim M. (middle) and Mike B. (right) are the
Deschutes Hauler East crew. They'll shortly be bring-
ing their train out of Deschutes staging (lower deck
beyond them) into Redland for a block swap before
proceeding to Pocatello.
