Part III of the Trains Unlimited Tour photos which covers the arrival in Mt. Shasta and a few more on the climb to McCloud. For those who haven't followed this closely, they ran the train in two sections from the City of Mt. Shasta: First section was lead by WP 2001 and PPCX 6304 followed by 9 passenger cars. Second section had MR 37 as the sole power for the last 5 cars which included the beautiful Hiawatha Cedar Rapids skytop. MR 37 had a few problems but the resourcful crew found a workaround to get them up the hill.
