These are advertisments that appeared in two issues of "The Timberman," about log cars built for the Craig Mtn. Lumber Company during 1914 by The Seattle Car & Foundry.

Thought some might find the advertisments of iterest. I'll try to enbed them in this message (I tried, but was unsucessful, please cut and paste the address, if interested):

and;

Also, the University of Idaho, Moscow, has a very large collection of company records on this lumbering concern.

Someday, maybe someone will be able to put together a good history and publish a book on the Craig Mtn. Lumber Company.

I've been trying to keep track of where all the KM equipment has gone to. I have this partial list (below) of KM equipment locations. Can anyone provide any more details as to the dispositions of the KM equipment?

2. Loco #9, Heisler #3, and D&LW coaches #573 and #583 - at National RR Museum, Green Bay, WI

Boyd: I appreciate your keeping tabs on the KM equipment. Still seem to be some coaches not accounted for and also some freight equipment (cabooses, stock car, hepper car, etc.)

If others are interested in the Kettle Moraine Equipment, I have put together a web page that I will be updating as I get more info about dispositions of it.
The page's url is: http://www.rypn.org/boyd/KettleMoraine.html (it's also linked below).
Hopefully I'll get more information soon, so that I can have a complete roster, with all disposition information.

If there is interest, I would like to put together lists of equipment dispositions from other former tourist railways/museums.
I don't have the time myself to research all the dispositions, but if others could provide the info, I would gladly put it together.
Please let me know if there is interest in such a project.
