If that photo really is from 1930, I wonder if the large number of SP (and T&NO) box cars seen together
(without foreign cars) were in storage due to the economic circumstances of that time period. To be sure through
traffic went by the far easier and faster route through Dunsmuir and Klamath Falls as soon as the line was built.

Hello all,

  It turns out that the SP "main" -DID- shift to the K Falls route and was very much in
use ... and carrying more traffic than the Siskiyou line.  I've been told by someone
who knows the SP much better than I.  Thanks for the correction, BD.
