The Model Railroaders Guide To Logging Railroads

This highly illustrated book explains the business of logging railroads and provides examples of prototype operations. Photos of locomotives, equipment, and structures set the stage for modeling logging scenes and designing a logging layout.

Story of the independent and commercial loggers whose desire for the "green gold" helped shape South Carolina's history.

In 1889, David Eccles chartered the Oregon Lumber Company, an organization that produced many mills and railways and whose influence was felt from Salt Lake City to Northern California and Idaho. Through family connections, Eccles was also involved with many other logging enterprises, and he influenced the growth of the Inter-Mountain region as well as the Pacific Northwest. Sumpter Valley Logging Railroads is a pictorial history of the Oregon operations, focusing on the operations along the Sumpter Valley Railway. It explores the rails, mills, and people, as well as the logging practices of a bygone era.

This book covers logging railroad history in Washington, Oregon, California, Nevaha, Idaho, Montana, Utah, Wyoming, Colorado, Arizona, and New Mexico from the 1860's through the 1950's.
