You might have some luck. As you may already know they transload all of the stuff out of Burney to Bieber and our local picks it up. Last time I worked the local we spotted some gondolas on the balloon track at Lookout for tie loading, it was a pretty sad day for me. Also when they had the big piles of rail and stuff at Bieber too, that was a real bummer. I talked to Jeff the G.M. on the phone briefly last spring about a place to store some equipment. Real nice guy, a good friend of mine, who also is an engineer for BNSF in Richmond hooked me up with his number. He practicly grew up on the McCloud. I can pm serious inquiries as to whats going on down there, I do know one thing though, its sad to see things like this happen.
