A little while later, I was waiting for them in Tule Lake yard. Their headlight is visible in the distance as MN's multi-purpose MOW vehicle "The Beast" occupies the main track in the yard.

Still later, I was waiting for them on the hill at Falvey Road in Merrill. They had picked up a covered hopper and a boxcar in Tulelake to take to the UP yard in Klamath Falls.
