Murry Hammond is working to produce several Rusty Rails & Dusty Trails history newsletters on different Polk County railroads, sawmills and logging camps. Here are our needs:
Waco, Beaumont, Trinity & Sabine Railway (1922 - 1959), the "Wobbly." We are trying to produce a larger publication on this company's very interesting railroad story.
West Lumber Company / Onalaska.
Providence Log Camp, near Livingston.
Onalaska (West Lumber Company)
Carmona (Saner-Ragley Lumber Company)
Campwood (Log camp was the end of the Warren & Corsicana Pacific Railroad in western Polk County)
I am looking for photographs to illustrate these histories, and surviving family stories to personalize them. If you have any stories regarding life along these railroads and sawmills, I'd love to speak with you by telephone, mail or e-mail.
Contact Murry Hammond by e-Mail or call anytime at 818-653-4626. Thank you! |
