The officials quickly concluded
that the F-unit could not lead the train north, and it was set out in the yard. The Amtrak units are
to continue on by themselves. Note that the magnetic herald has been removed from the nose of the
F-unit.

McCloud Railway management offered to make repairs on the F-unit. The #2001 and the #37 left Mt.
Shasta, bound for McCloud, before the decision was made, and they had to return to Mt. Shasta City
to pick up the unit. The #37 has just coupled to the front of the F-unit, and the two of them
frame Mt. Shasta nicely. Roger Titus photo |

By the following morning the units had been switched around so that the F-unit was in the front
and moved to the shop lead.
