Complete history of West
Virginia's largest logging railroad which was also its last, operating
1912-1972. It operated Shay, Heisler, and Climax geared steam
locomotives and in the last 15 years also had diesels. The book covers
the locomotives in detail, the cars and the operations as well as
background on the company and its owners, the Raine family. Photos show
all aspects of the operation and the people involved. Meadow River was
at one time the largest producer of hardwood lumber in the world. Some
of its equipment has survived to operate on tourist lines.
