Combined WP-BN trains 137-139 was unable to make its normal route westbound through the Feather River Canyon. Train ran east from Keddie to Portola and to Reno via Reno Branch. Once on SP (using SP pilot crews) train ran west over Donner Pass with WP 3522, 766 and 3013 as helper units. Unknown if train went to WP Haggin yard in Sacto or continued on SP to Stockton.
