Once the Sierra branch had been lifted, the salvage crews started work at the
end of the mainline in the Burney yard.
These first two photos, both by Steve Moore, show the start of the work in Burney and one of the
trucks used by the contractor to pick up the rails.

By the morning of Sunday, 17 August, 2008, the salvage crews had passed the old
Lorenz crossing on Highway 89 between the junction with Highway 299 and McArthur Burney Falls Memorial
State Park. This view is looking north along the grade between the Highway 89 crossing and where the
Lorenz spur left the mainline.
