DAVE'S TRAINS AND TREES

~ 5 Mile Railroad ~

~ Shay Spur - A fictional route from Occidental to Streeton's Mill ~

The logging spur will leave Occidental traveling north uphill above the MaQuire Creek
trestle. Around a bend through Camp Meeker above Dutch Bill Creek and the Camp Meeker
stop. Continuing around the hill to cross a makeshift, non-engineered logging trestle
leading to Streeton's Mill

Around the bend through Camp Meeker above its depot.

Around the bend out of Camp Meeker.

Testing Shay on logging trestle.

This is the photograph used as the basis for the non-engineered logging trestle. It's
a great example of how backwoods loggers would get to their destination. This was a
Benson Logging Company switchback used to get a Shay locomotive where it needed to go.
