SD-UNITS DID HELPER SERVICE AND HANDLED TRAINS BOUND FOR THE SISKIYOU LINE. A NEW DIESEL SERVICING FACILITY WAS CONSTRUCTED DOWN IN THE LOWER YARD AND FUELING AND SERVICING TOOK PLACE THERE. THE FACILITY WAS CLOSED DOWN WHEN SECOND GENERATION POWER, WITH THEIR LARGER FUEL TANKS, DID NOT REQUIRE REFUELING ON THE ROSEVILLE TO EUGENE RUN.
