Wonderfull!! Darren Cohenour This book is a gotta have if you are into logging railroad history! Loaded with pictures and personal accounts from locamotive engineers. Easy reading and a full tackage map to follow the sequence of logging areas with. A must for the railroad buff.. West Virginia's Last Logging Railroad Emerson Williams Very interesting book,I would have given it a five but I was disappointed there was not more information about the logging camps themselves. My father was a logger there for twenty five years. Very little info about what he would have done, only about the locomotives, tracks and the mill.. Excellent Book for the Logging or Railroad Fan Excellent book documenting the last logging railroad. The book has an excellent mix of text and pictures. It is well organized by decade which helps the reader place progress in context.
