The Lake Railway local heads south from Lakeview, Oregon to Alturas, California with a load of perlite and two loaded center beam cars. Pulling the train are GP49 LRY 2809 and ex-Army Baldwin RS-4-TC switcher now painted NCO 1270. The Nevada California and Oregon was the old narrow-gauge line that ran from Wadsworth, Nevada to Lakeview. The NCO was bought by the SP in the 1920s and became a part of the SP Modoc line, which SP expanded to connect to Klamath Falls to serve as an outlet for eastbound timber products from Oregon.
