When I first started mailing out photos, Jud Powell sent several views of the Prescott & Northwestern which serves a mill or two in the Prescott area and connects them to the Union Pacific, ex Missouri Pacific, mainline. We had these on several pages, and have now brought them together with a couple of older photos from my collection.

Locomotive 23 is a 70 ton General Electric locomotive purchased new in June, 1954, #32200. My records show two other 70 ton GE's. Locomotive 24 was built in April, 1955, #32283, and was formerly Valley & Siletz 11. Locomotive 25 was built in July, 1956, #32595, and was formerly Sacramento Northern 202, Class 201, purchased in 1967.

Here is the 23 along the UP mainline at the interchange at Prescott.

Our next photo shows the 23 near the station at Prescott.

Here is the 23 at the old Bemis mill, which is now owned by Potlatch, at Dian.

The track ends 5 miles out at the Nevada County line.

Meanwhile, back in Prescott, we have a view of the interior of the caboose shed.
