Western Railroad Discussion > Simpson: Goldsborough CreekDate: 09/25/13 09:41 Simpson: Goldsborough Creek Author: loleta There are, if I'm counting correctly, six crossings of Goldsborough Creek, counting those inside and just outside the mill in Shelton. Here are photos of three of them:
1. 1200 leads a log train across the North Fork just east of Dayton. 2. Between Carmen Road and Shelton, this one requires a bit of walking. 3. 900 leads a string of empty log cars back toward Shelton, shown here just west of town.

SOB Date: 09/25/13 09:53 Re: Simpson: Goldsborough Creek Author: loleta Simpson's American crane helped out with a salmon restoration project on Goldsborough Creek, hauling in felled trees to create spawning pools. An earlier project involving the installation of a new culvert under the tracks brought spawning salmon back to a tributary for the first time in nearly a century.
1. Loading trees onto a log car east of Shelton. 2. Unloading the tress a short distance up the line. 3. The crane ducks into a siding to allow 1200 to pass by on the afternoon run to the sort yard. - L.F. Edited 1 time(s). Last edit at 09/25/13 10:58 by loleta.
