Early morning in the Hyampom yards. Number 9 has brought a load of empties up the hill and departed with the log loads for the mill at Bayside. We got here to late to catch that action but were able to see the rest of the switching operations before the trains left for the woods.
Number 7 turning on the table so she can pick up the string of empties and head to Camp 6 and the woods beyond.
The Crummy had been sent down the hill to load up on provisions for Camp 6 and came up behind #9 this morning. Number 5 came down to pick it up and drop it at the cook shack at Camp 6.
The string of empties and caboose waiting for #7 to pick them up.

Number 7 tied on and heading for the woods to turn these empties into loads.
While I followed #7 through Hyampom and out to the camp 6 junction I missed #5 moving these two flats down to the transfer siding before heading out of town. I guess they will be going down the mountain behind the next train, or maybe back to the Redding yards. think I will run up to the Hyampom depot and see if I can find out their destination.
A beautiful morning for a little train action before winter sets in.
