Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Meadow River Lumber was formed in 1906, and by the 20s, it was the "World's Largest Hardwood Manufacturer." This was the most long-lived lumber operation- and is remembered as an especially compelling combination of geared steam power and mechanized logging. The last of Meadow's steamers were retired in the mid-1960s, when two found new homes on the Cass Scenic Railroad. This book celebrates Meadow River Lumber's grand saga through a comprehensive text, 127 photos and track system map.
