Washburn Logging & Lumbering
By the end of 1886 three huge mills take up the entire waterfront of the West End of Washburn. Great gaps in the forest have opened up and now a railroad is being built into the interior to facilitate the removal of forests that because of the lack of rivers could not feasibly be cut before. Within a few more years not a tree can be seen. Racing through the slashing left by loggers, huge forest fires burn what is left. Within twenty years of the city's founding, most of the pine is gone. The mills remain running for a while, cutting Michigan and Minnesota pine that comes in great rafts of a million feet or more, but the end is in sight.
Hopefully this site will help one to understand the great logging industry that once existed in Washburn and Northern Bayfield County

Western Lumber Co. - Westfir, OR
Long before the SP's Cascade line was completed, the small town of Westfir (MP 582.7) was the location of a large lumber operation. Started as the Western Lumber Company, it later became the Westfir lumber company, and finally the Edward Hines Lumber Company. In 1966 the mill shipped nearly 2900 carloads of wood products via the SP!

Wisconsin Logging Railroads
The purpose of this page is to provide information on an often overlooked aspect of railroading. While not as thrilling as their western counterparts, logging railroads in the State of Wisconsin still hold much interest. After all, it is the state where both Frederick Weyerhauser and Edward Hines got their start. What I will attempt to do is to provide a master list of all Wisconsin logging railroads including basic information such as dates of operation, (when known) location, and guage.
