Description: California's Lumber Shortline Railroads by Jeff Moore Estimated delivery 3-12 business days Format Paperback Condition Brand New Description This book details the lives and times of Californias lumber hauling shortline railroads, from the development and histories of the individual companies to the collective role these small railroads played in both the rural economies in the forested areas of the Golden State and the greater railroad and transportation industries. Publisher Description Californias sawmill and railroad industries grew up together, each at least partially depending upon the other for survival. However, not all of the Golden States sawmills lay upon the routes of mainline railroads, resulting in the development of a number of shortline railroads connecting remote sawmills with the nations rail network. In addition to serving the lumber industry, these shortlines often became economic lifelines to other industries in rural parts of the state. Many of these railroads also carried passengers, either as part of their common carrier service in the early years and/or as tourists in recent decades. This book seeks to tell the stories of and relate the important historical roles these small carriers played, long lasting companies such as the Almanor, Amador Central, Arcata & Mad River, California Western, Camino Placerville & Lake Tahoe, McCloud River, Quincy, Sierra, and Yreka Western, along with younger start-ups such as the Eureka Southern, North Coast, Great Western, Modoc Northern, Lake County, Lake Railway, and others. Author Biography Jeff Moore spent most of his youth in the pine forests of northeastern California and the redwoods along the Pacific Coast, where his lifelong passion for trains developed into an intense interest in the history of those railroads associated with the timber industry, especially in northeastern California and eastern Oregon. Jeff currently lives with his family near Elko, Nevada, where he continues his research into these operations. As of this writing Jeff has authored two books and numerous articles and has several other projects pending.
