Murry Hammond is working to produce Rusty Rails & Dusty Trails history newsletters on the following Bowie County subjects. In general, I am looking for photographs to illustrate the histories, and surviving family stories to personalize them. If you have any pictures or stories on the old log railroads or sawmill life that you would be willing to let us copy for our publication, I'd love to speak with you by mail or e-mail or telephone. Contact: Murry Hammond (click for e-Mail) or call anytime at 818-653-4626.

Here are our needs:

North East Texas Railway (1904 - 1908, operated by Redwater Lumber)
Redwater Lumber Company (Mill at Redwater, log camp at Munz in Cass County, operated the North East Texas Railway).

Thank you!
