Tim persuaded me that, even though all but the mill trackage was removed around 1940, I should include some of it on the Moclips route, circa 1955. So, a portion of the Aloha Lumber Co. trackage has been added without too much pain. Generally, progress has been slow, but I keep plugging away at it!

Here it passes under the NP trestle near Pacific Beach, following Joe Cr. At one time it continued north a few miles, and even paralleled the Rayonier line for a ways.

Agreed. One of the best screenies I've seen for awhile. And nice "kit-bashing" on the trestle, too! :lol: :rolleyes:

Here's another shot I dug out of the archives, a little beat up and faded, but a great historic photo!

Damn! That's convincing, with the old rounded and dog-eared mattboard. Very clever, my friend.
