BY THE 1960'S, DUNSMUIR RAIL OPERATIONS WERE BEGINNING TO CHANGE. STEAM HAD BEEN
GONE FOR MANY YEARS AND MANY OF THE STRUCTURES WERE REMOVED. A NEW DIESEL
SERVICING FACILITY WAS SET UP IN THE LOWER YARD AND LESS ACTION WAS TO BE FOUND AROUND
THE DEPOT AREA. THE PEDESTRIAN BRIDGE WAS PULLED DOWN IN THE MID 60'S AND FROM THERE ON THE OLD IMAGE OF DUNSMUIR BEGAN TO CHANGE. PASSENGER OPERATIONS IN THE EARLY 60'S HAD THREE TRAINS IN EACH DIRECTION. THE "SHASTA DAYLIGHT, CASCADE AND KLAMATH" ALL STOPPED AT DUNSMUIR.
