Compiled by [[User:John Hall|John F. Hall]].

<span class="paracap">T</span>'''he''' locomotive roster for the Arcata & Mad River Railroad is complicated. It involves four different companies and three different numberings of the locomotives. This is a roster of the 45.25 inch gauge locomotives that were used on the Arcata Transportation Company, the Arcata & Mad River Railroad, the Humboldt Lumber Mill Co., and the Northern Redwood Lumber Co. The standard gauge locomotives of the Arcata & Mad River Railroad and the Northern Redwood Lumber Co. are not listed. The Northern Redwood Lumber Heisler locomotives are listed according to the deliver dates and locomotive weight reported in the ''Blue Lake Advocate''. These dates and weights do not completely aggree with Stanley Borden's roster published in the ''Western Railroader'' Issue 176 nor the same roster compiled by Walter Casler in ''The Heisler Locomotive 1981-1941.'' That roster is included for comparison.

===History===
:By [[User:John Hall|John F. Hall]]<br>
<span style="float:right;margin-left:20px;">__TOC__</span>
<span class="paracap">T</span>'''he''' 45¼ inch gauge '''Arcata & Mad River Railroad''' was incorporated July 16, 1881.<ref name=”incorp”> ''The Daily Humboldt Times'' July 17, 1881, page 3</ref> The A&MR was the third incarnation of a railroad in Arcata, Humboldt County, California. The original was the Union Plank Walk & Rail Track Company incorporated December 15, 1854. Union was the original name of Arcata. The U. P. W. & R. T. Co was a horse powered wooden tramway along a 11,000 foot wharf and a wooden railway across the marsh into the town center of what would become Arcata.<ref>''Sacramento Daily Union'', December 4, 1854, page 1</ref> It was this company that established the one-of-a-kind narrow gauge of 45¼ inches based on the wheel gauge of its original four wheel horse drawn car.

In August 1874 Leon Cheveret and D. D. Averill sold their interests in the U. P. W. & R. T. Co to G. W. B. Yocum and H. Mentz. The new owners began negotiations with N. Falk and I. Minor about extending the track 1.5 miles to Falk & Minor’s new Jolly Giant mill just north of Arcata, today part of the city. An agreement was made to build track to the Jolly Giant and to extend the wharf a third of a mile, to deeper water allowing ocean going ships to dock even at low tide. In the Spring of 1875 construction started on the wharf extension and wooden track to the mill. <ref>''The Daily Humboldt Times'' May 12, 1875, page 3</ref> It was discovered that horses and carts could not keep up with the production of the saw mill. A locomotive was needed. The Arcata Transportation Company was incorporated in June 1875 to raise capital. <ref> ''Sacramento Daily Union'', June 15, 1875, page 3</ref> The assets of the U. P. W. & R. T. Co. were transferred to the new company.

Immediately following the incorporation, Asa Persons, the owner of the Eureka Foundry began the design of a locomotive strong enough to pull the cars of lumber but light enough to travel on the wharf and the wooden railway track. <ref> ''The Daily Humboldt Times'' June 22, 1875, page 3</ref> The locomotive was described as twenty horse power, geared, double oscillating engine with two 6” x 12” cylinders. <ref> ''The Daily Humboldt Times'' October 16, 1875, page 3</ref> The locomotive took its first successful trip along the Arcata wharf in January 1876 after the sudden death of its designer, the completion by his son Louis, and a tortuous four month trial period including a replacement boiler made in San Francisco.<ref> ''The Daily Humboldt Times'' January 25, 1876, page 3</ref> The locomotive was called the ''Black Diamond'' built for the 45¼ inch gauge.<ref> ''The Daily Eureka Times-Telephone'', July 12, 1883, page 3</ref>.

In the Spring of 1876 the Arcata Transportation Co. railroad was extended to the Dolly Varden mill by adding 1.3 miles of wooden track. <ref>''The Daily Humboldt Times'' April 27, 1876, page 3</ref>

Under the U. P. W. & R. T. Co. passengers from Eureka to Arcata took a steamboat to the Arcata wharf. The Directors of the Arcata Transportation Co. contracted for a new boat. In July 1878 the steamboat ''Alta'' replaced the ''Gussie.''<ref>''Daily Alta California'' July 11, 1878, page 1</ref>

Lumber mills began to move further into the woods and the railroads needed to follow. Falk & Chandler were going to build a mill on the south side of the Mad River at Warren Creek. This was just opposite John Vance’s mill on the north side of the river, served by its own standard gauge railroad. Once again capital was needed to expand the ATC railroad. In July 1881 the Arcata and Mad River Railroad was incorporated to build between the northerly end of Humboldt Bay and the north fork of the Mad River. <ref name=”incorp”></ref> The assets of the Arcata Transportation Co. were transferred to the A&MR. Iron rails would be used throughout the entire railroad and a second locomotive, a 0-4-0T Porter, was delivered in the Spring of 1882.

<span style="float:right">[[File:A&MR_map.jpg|400px|frame|Map of the A&MR Railroad]]</span>

January 1883 saw the introduction of the first enclosed passenger car on the railroad. It was built in Arcata by Theodore Dean a local carpenter. It replaced the canvas covered car previously used to move passengers between the wharf and Arcata.<ref>''The Daily Eureka Times-Telephone'' January 3, 1883, page 3</ref>

The Korbel brothers, Anthony, Francis, and Joseph, cigar box manufacturers and photo engravers in San Francisco,<ref>''Langley’s San Francisco Directory, April 1883,'' page 632</ref> had exhausted their redwood timber holdings in Sonoma County and began a vineyard and winery.<ref>''The Sonoma Democrat Supplement'', June 28, 1884, page 1 </ref> Cigar boxes still needed redwood so they purchased timber land near the confluence of the north fork and main reach of the Mad River. Their plan was to build a lumber mill and ship redwood lumber south for the box factory and lumber markets in San Francisco. Francis and Anthony Korbel and others incorporated the Humboldt Lumber Mill Company March 23, 1883.<ref>''The Eureka Daily Times-Telephone'', January 6, 1884, page 3</ref> To get the lumber to market they needed a reliable method of transportation and purchased the Arcata & Mad River Railroad April 1, 1883.<ref> ''The Daily Eureka Times-Telephone'' March 25, 1883, page 2</ref> The Korbel’s reincorporated the A&MR June 12, 1883 increasing the capitalization from $60,000 to $300,000. <ref> ''The Daily Eureka Times-Telephone'' January 6, 1884, page 3</ref>

In June construction began on the 500 foot long Mad River Bridge and the new mill at North Fork. The bridge had three 165 foot spans and a short truss on the north shore. Throughout the Summer and Fall four-wheel lumber cars were constructed, turntables installed, the bridge was finished, the steamship ''Alta'' was refitted, new track was laid and wooden rails were replaced with 25 pound iron rails. In August a new 0-4-4T locomotive arrived from the Golden State and Miners’ Iron Works in San Francisco.<ref>''The Eureka Daily Times-Telephone'', August 16, 1883, page 3</ref> On January 16, 1884 the first regular mixed train began running between Arcata wharf and North Fork, later to be renamed Korbel. The Porter locomotive would pull the train along the wharf to the Arcata depot then the larger Golden State locomotive would take the train to North Fork.

In 1887 the Arcata depot was rebuilt by Theodore Dean so that the passengers had their own building and did not have to wait in the freight shed.<ref>''The Daily Humboldt Times'', July 3, 1887, page 3</ref> The Arcata & Mad River Railroad had expanded to its ultimate passenger carrying limits, Arcata to Korbel, and settled down to normal operations. The freight carried included lumber, shingles, shakes, posts, tan bark, cord wood, wool, and potatoes.

Just as the Arcata depot was completed the railroad was extended to serve the new Riverside Lumber Mill on the Mad River just south of Korbel. With freight traffic expanding a more powerful locomotive was ordered from the Baldwin Locomotive Works. It was necessary to rebuild the Mad River bridge to handle the new locomotive’s weight.<ref>''The Daily Humboldt Times'' January 22, 1888, page 2</ref>

By 1895 there were five active locomotives. ''Black Diamond'' had been relegated to pumping water and powering the machine shop.<ref>''The Eureka Daily Times-Telephone'', July 12, 1883, page 3</ref> A second Golden State & Miners Iron Works 0-4-2, a Baldwin 2-4-0, and a locomotive named “Gypsy” that worked the timber land. It was a Marshutz & Cantrell National Iron Works Dolbeer 0-4-0T with integrated winch.<ref>Photographic evidence at the Riverside Mill.</ref>

Disaster struck the Arcata & Mad River Railroad on September 13, 1896 when rotten needle beams of the Mad River Bridge gave way and dropped a locomotive and passenger car to the gravel bed of the river below.<ref>''The Humboldt Times'' September 15, 1896, page 4</ref> Five were killed and many injured. The Korbels took responsibility and attempted settlements with the injured and families of the killed.

In April 1900 the standard gauge California Northern Railroad was organized to connect the standard gauge Eureka and Klamath River Railroad in Arcata to the city of Eureka. The E&KR was the successor of John Vance’s standard gauge Mad River & Humboldt Bay Railroad. The MR&HB was built prior to the A&MR between Vance’s mill on the north side of the Mad river and a slough off of Humboldt Bay. John Vance’s children incorporated the MR&HB as the E&KR and rebuilt the railroad to connect to Humboldt Bay roughly paralleling the A&MR through Arcata. The E&KR crossed the A&MR once near Mad River and again just entering town then the CN crossed the A&MR in the marsh just north of the end of the A&MR wharf. The A&MR and E&KR ran side by side for approximately 1.3 miles just south of the Mad River.

By late 1900 a three stall roundhouse and passenger car shed was built in Korbel to house both the Golden State 0-4-2 and two Baldwin 2-4-0. <ref>''Blue Lake Advocate'' November 24, 1900, page 4</ref> The second Baldwin was purchased in 1901.<ref>''The Humboldt Times'' March 9, 1901, page 6</ref> With the anticipated arrival of the new Baldwin locomotive the extension up the Mad River into the forest was begun.<ref>''The Humboldt Times'' December 30, 1900, page 2</ref>

In February 1903 a new group of San Francisco investors formed the Northern Redwood Lumber Co. the incorporators were H. W. Jackson and Frank Graham of Arcata, A. Kendall, Charles Nelson, and James Tyson of San Francisco. The Charles Nelson Company of San Francisco had been the agents for the Riverside mill. The Northern Redwood Lumber Co. acquired the Korbel and Riverside mills and the A&MR from the Korbel Bros.<ref>''Blue Lake Advocate'' February 7, 1903, page 1</ref>

In 1906 a third Baldwin 2-4-0 was purchased for use in the forests moving logs to the mills<ref>''The Humboldt Times'' January 31, 1906, page 2</ref> The railroad’s extension up the Mad River continued.

In 1907 the Northwestern Pacific Railroad was organized from a conglomeration of railroads between Eureka and the San Francisco Bay. Construction began on new standard gauge tracks up the Eel river to connect the railroads all together. The railroads of Humboldt County would soon have a connection to the outside world.<ref>''San Francisco Call'' January 1, 1907</ref> E&KR and CN became part of the Northwestern Pacific Railroad. Once construction along the Eel River was completed in October 1914<ref>''San Francisco Call'' October 23, 1914</ref> the narrow gauge A&MR was connected to railroads outside of Humboldt County through a transfer at Janes Creek located in the section where the two railroads ran side by side. The transfer of lumber to ships was no longer the only way to move material to large markets.

As the Mad River extension of the A&MR continued the grades got steeper in order to access the timber on the slopes of the river valley. The Northern Redwood Railroad began to purchase Heisler locomotives. The first arrived in May 1909. It was a 35-ton locomotive. <ref>''Blue Lake Advocate'' May 15, 1909, page 4</ref> The second, arrived in April 1910, was also 35 tons. <ref>''Blue Lake Advocate'' April 23, 1910, page 4</ref> The third, arrived in July 1911, was a 55 ton locomotive.<ref>''Blue Lake Advocate'' July 1, 1911, page 1</ref> The last, arrived in March 1923 was a 40 ton locomotive.<ref>''Blue Lake Advocate'' March 10, 1923, page 1</ref> The Heislers were all 45¼ inch narrow gauge locomotives.

In August 1925, to eliminate the awkward transfer of lumber at Janes Creek, the future Korblex, a third rail was installed along the A&MR from Korblex to Korbel. <ref>''Blue Lake Advocate'' August 1, 1925, page 8</ref> The narrow gauge locomotives were fit with multiple coupler pockets to accommodate both narrow and standard gauge rolling stock. Passenger service continued from Korbel to Arcata using narrow gauge equipment.

With the addition of the standard gauge rail, things began to change for the A&MR. New standard gauge logging cars and a standard gauge locomotive were acquired for the new standard gauge extension up the North Fork of Mad River. The 96 ton Alco 2-8-2T locomotive built in Pennsylvania arrived in January 1927.<ref>''The Blue Lake Advocate'' January 15, 1927, page 1</ref> The narrow gauge logging railroad up the main reach of the Mad River remained.

The end of the narrow gauge was not far away. By this time the stock market had crashed plunging the country into severe depression reducing the demand for lumber. Automobiles and buses were diverting passengers from the Arcata to Korbel line. On June 6, 1931 the last passenger train ran on the A&MR.<ref>''Blue Lake Advocate'' June 6, 1931, page 1</ref> However narrow gauge freight trains were still delivering lumber to the Arcata Wharf as late as September 1933.<ref>''Blue Lake Advocate'' September 23, 1933, page 1</ref>

Lumber mills were shut down; sometimes temporarily reactivated and shut down again. The dual gauge railroad remained between Korblex and Korbel until February 1942 when it was reworked to standard gauge. The narrow gauge rails between Arcata and Korblex were removed. <ref>''Blue Lake Advocate'' April 18, 1942, page 1</ref> The rails up the Mad River were reworked and inclines removed.<ref>''Blue Lake Advocate'' February 14, 1942, page 1</ref> The A&MR and Northern Redwood Lumber were now standard gauge railroads.

===History===
:By [[User:John Hall|John F. Hall]]<br>
<span style="float:right;margin-left:20px;">__TOC__</span>
<span class="paracap">T</span>'''he''' 45¼ inch gauge '''Arcata & Mad River Railroad''' was incorporated July 16, 1881.<ref name=”incorp”> ''The Daily Humboldt Times'' July 17, 1881, page 3</ref> The A&MR was the third incarnation of a railroad in Arcata, Humboldt County, California. The original was the Union Plank Walk & Rail Track Company incorporated December 15, 1854. Union was the original name of Arcata. The U. P. W. & R. T. Co was a horse powered wooden tramway along a 11,000 foot wharf and a wooden railway across the marsh into the town center of what would become Arcata.<ref>''Sacramento Daily Union'', December 4, 1854, page 1</ref> It was this company that established the one-of-a-kind narrow gauge of 45¼ inches based on the wheel gauge of its original four wheel horse drawn car.

In August 1874 Leon Cheveret and D. D. Averill sold their interests in the U. P. W. & R. T. Co to G. W. B. Yocum and H. Mentz. The new owners began negotiations with N. Falk and I. Minor about extending the track 1.5 miles to Falk & Minor’s new Jolly Giant mill just north of Arcata, today part of the city. An agreement was made to build track to the Jolly Giant and to extend the wharf a third of a mile, to deeper water allowing ocean going ships to dock even at low tide. In the Spring of 1875 construction started on the wharf extension and wooden track to the mill. <ref>''The Daily Humboldt Times'' May 12, 1875, page 3</ref> It was discovered that horses and carts could not keep up with the production of the saw mill. A locomotive was needed. The Arcata Transportation Company was incorporated in June 1875 to raise capital. <ref> ''Sacramento Daily Union'', June 15, 1875, page 3</ref> The assets of the U. P. W. & R. T. Co. were transferred to the new company.

Immediately following the incorporation, Asa Persons, the owner of the Eureka Foundry began the design of a locomotive strong enough to pull the cars of lumber but light enough to travel on the wharf and the wooden railway track. <ref> ''The Daily Humboldt Times'' June 22, 1875, page 3</ref> The locomotive was described as twenty horse power, geared, double oscillating engine with two 6” x 12” cylinders. <ref> ''The Daily Humboldt Times'' October 16, 1875, page 3</ref> The locomotive took its first successful trip along the Arcata wharf in January 1876 after the sudden death of its designer, the completion by his son Louis, and a tortuous four month trial period including a replacement boiler made in San Francisco.<ref> ''The Daily Humboldt Times'' January 25, 1876, page 3</ref> The locomotive was called the ''Black Diamond'' built for the 45¼ inch gauge.<ref> ''The Daily Eureka Times-Telephone'', July 12, 1883, page 3</ref>.

In the Spring of 1876 the Arcata Transportation Co. railroad was extended to the Dolly Varden mill by adding 1.3 miles of wooden track. <ref>''The Daily Humboldt Times'' April 27, 1876, page 3</ref>

Under the U. P. W. & R. T. Co. passengers from Eureka to Arcata took a steamboat to the Arcata wharf. The Directors of the Arcata Transportation Co. contracted for a new boat. In July 1878 the steamboat ''Alta'' replaced the ''Gussie.''<ref>''Daily Alta California'' July 11, 1878, page 1</ref>

Lumber mills began to move further into the woods and the railroads needed to follow. Falk & Chandler were going to build a mill on the south side of the Mad River at Warren Creek. This was just opposite John Vance’s mill on the north side of the river, served by its own standard gauge railroad. Once again capital was needed to expand the ATC railroad. In July 1881 the Arcata and Mad River Railroad was incorporated to build between the northerly end of Humboldt Bay and the north fork of the Mad River. <ref name=”incorp”></ref> The assets of the Arcata Transportation Co. were transferred to the A&MR. Iron rails would be used throughout the entire railroad and a second locomotive, a 0-4-0T Porter, was delivered in the Spring of 1882.

<span style="float:right">[[File:A&MR_map.jpg|400px|frame|Map of the A&MR Railroad]]</span>

January 1883 saw the introduction of the first enclosed passenger car on the railroad. It was built in Arcata by Theodore Dean a local carpenter. It replaced the canvas covered car previously used to move passengers between the wharf and Arcata.<ref>''The Daily Eureka Times-Telephone'' January 3, 1883, page 3</ref>

The Korbel brothers, Anthony, Francis, and Joseph, cigar box manufacturers and photo engravers in San Francisco,<ref>''Langley’s San Francisco Directory, April 1883,'' page 632</ref> had exhausted their redwood timber holdings in Sonoma County and began a vineyard and winery.<ref>''The Sonoma Democrat Supplement'', June 28, 1884, page 1 </ref> Cigar boxes still needed redwood so they purchased timber land near the confluence of the north fork and main reach of the Mad River. Their plan was to build a lumber mill and ship redwood lumber south for the box factory and lumber markets in San Francisco. Francis and Anthony Korbel and others incorporated the Humboldt Lumber Mill Company March 23, 1883.<ref>''The Eureka Daily Times-Telephone'', January 6, 1884, page 3</ref> To get the lumber to market they needed a reliable method of transportation and purchased the Arcata & Mad River Railroad April 1, 1883.<ref> ''The Daily Eureka Times-Telephone'' March 25, 1883, page 2</ref> The Korbel’s reincorporated the A&MR June 12, 1883 increasing the capitalization from $60,000 to $300,000. <ref> ''The Daily Eureka Times-Telephone'' January 6, 1884, page 3</ref>

In June construction began on the 500 foot long Mad River Bridge and the new mill at North Fork. The bridge had three 165 foot spans and a short truss on the north shore. Throughout the Summer and Fall four-wheel lumber cars were constructed, turntables installed, the bridge was finished, the steamship ''Alta'' was refitted, new track was laid and wooden rails were replaced with 25 pound iron rails. In August a new 0-4-4T locomotive arrived from the Golden State and Miners’ Iron Works in San Francisco.<ref>''The Eureka Daily Times-Telephone'', August 16, 1883, page 3</ref> On January 16, 1884 the first regular mixed train began running between Arcata wharf and North Fork, later to be renamed Korbel. The Porter locomotive would pull the train along the wharf to the Arcata depot then the larger Golden State locomotive would take the train to North Fork.

In 1887 the Arcata depot was rebuilt by Theodore Dean so that the passengers had their own building and did not have to wait in the freight shed.<ref>''The Daily Humboldt Times'', July 3, 1887, page 3</ref> The Arcata & Mad River Railroad had expanded to its ultimate passenger carrying limits, Arcata to Korbel, and settled down to normal operations. The freight carried included lumber, shingles, shakes, posts, tan bark, cord wood, wool, and potatoes.

Just as the Arcata depot was completed the railroad was extended to serve the new Riverside Lumber Mill on the Mad River just south of Korbel. With freight traffic expanding a more powerful locomotive was ordered from the Baldwin Locomotive Works. It was necessary to rebuild the Mad River bridge to handle the new locomotive’s weight.<ref>''The Daily Humboldt Times'' January 22, 1888, page 2</ref>

By 1895 there were five active locomotives. ''Black Diamond'' had been relegated to pumping water and powering the machine shop.<ref>''The Eureka Daily Times-Telephone'', July 12, 1883, page 3</ref> A second Golden State & Miners Iron Works 0-4-2, a Baldwin 2-4-0, and a locomotive named “Gypsy” that worked the timber land. It was a Marshutz & Cantrell National Iron Works Dolbeer 0-4-0T with integrated winch.<ref>Photographic evidence at the Riverside Mill.</ref>

Disaster struck the Arcata & Mad River Railroad on September 13, 1896 when rotten needle beams of the Mad River Bridge gave way and dropped a locomotive and passenger car to the gravel bed of the river below.<ref>''The Humboldt Times'' September 15, 1896, page 4</ref> Five were killed and many injured. The Korbels took responsibility and attempted settlements with the injured and families of the killed.

In April 1900 the standard gauge California Northern Railroad was organized to connect the standard gauge Eureka and Klamath River Railroad in Arcata to the city of Eureka. The E&KR was the successor of John Vance’s standard gauge Mad River & Humboldt Bay Railroad. The MR&HB was built prior to the A&MR between Vance’s mill on the north side of the Mad river and a slough off of Humboldt Bay. John Vance’s children incorporated the MR&HB as the E&KR and rebuilt the railroad to connect to Humboldt Bay roughly paralleling the A&MR through Arcata. The E&KR crossed the A&MR once near Mad River and again just entering town then the CN crossed the A&MR in the marsh just north of the end of the A&MR wharf. The A&MR and E&KR ran side by side for approximately 1.3 miles just south of the Mad River.

By late 1900 a three stall roundhouse and passenger car shed was built in Korbel to house both the Golden State 0-4-2 and two Baldwin 2-4-0. <ref>''Blue Lake Advocate'' November 24, 1900, page 4</ref> The second Baldwin was purchased in 1901.<ref>''The Humboldt Times'' March 9, 1901, page 6</ref> With the anticipated arrival of the new Baldwin locomotive the extension up the Mad River into the forest was begun.<ref>''The Humboldt Times'' December 30, 1900, page 2</ref>

In February 1903 a new group of San Francisco investors formed the Northern Redwood Lumber Co. the incorporators were H. W. Jackson and Frank Graham of Arcata, A. Kendall, Charles Nelson, and James Tyson of San Francisco. The Charles Nelson Company of San Francisco had been the agents for the Riverside mill. The Northern Redwood Lumber Co. acquired the Korbel and Riverside mills and the A&MR from the Korbel Bros.<ref>''Blue Lake Advocate'' February 7, 1903, page 1</ref>

In 1906 a third Baldwin 2-4-0 was purchased for use in the forests moving logs to the mills<ref>''The Humboldt Times'' January 31, 1906, page 2</ref> The railroad’s extension up the Mad River continued.

In 1907 the Northwestern Pacific Railroad was organized from a conglomeration of railroads between Eureka and the San Francisco Bay. Construction began on new standard gauge tracks up the Eel river to connect the railroads all together. The railroads of Humboldt County would soon have a connection to the outside world.<ref>''San Francisco Call'' January 1, 1907</ref> E&KR and CN became part of the Northwestern Pacific Railroad. Once construction along the Eel River was completed in October 1914<ref>''San Francisco Call'' October 23, 1914</ref> the narrow gauge A&MR was connected to railroads outside of Humboldt County through a transfer at Janes Creek located in the section where the two railroads ran side by side. The transfer of lumber to ships was no longer the only way to move material to large markets.

As the Mad River extension of the A&MR continued the grades got steeper in order to access the timber on the slopes of the river valley. The Northern Redwood Railroad began to purchase Heisler locomotives. The first arrived in May 1909. It was a 35-ton locomotive. <ref>''Blue Lake Advocate'' May 15, 1909, page 4</ref> The second, arrived in April 1910, was also 35 tons. <ref>''Blue Lake Advocate'' April 23, 1910, page 4</ref> The third, arrived in July 1911, was a 55 ton locomotive.<ref>''Blue Lake Advocate'' July 1, 1911, page 1</ref> The last, arrived in March 1923 was a 40 ton locomotive.<ref>''Blue Lake Advocate'' March 10, 1923, page 1</ref> The Heislers were all 45¼ inch narrow gauge locomotives.

In August 1925, to eliminate the awkward transfer of lumber at Janes Creek, the future Korblex, a third rail was installed along the A&MR from Korblex to Korbel. <ref>''Blue Lake Advocate'' August 1, 1925, page 8</ref> The narrow gauge locomotives were fit with multiple coupler pockets to accommodate both narrow and standard gauge rolling stock. Passenger service continued from Korbel to Arcata using narrow gauge equipment.

With the addition of the standard gauge rail, things began to change for the A&MR. New standard gauge logging cars and a standard gauge locomotive were acquired for the new standard gauge extension up the North Fork of Mad River. The 96 ton Alco 2-8-2T locomotive built in Pennsylvania arrived in January 1927.<ref>''The Blue Lake Advocate'' January 15, 1927, page 1</ref> The narrow gauge logging railroad up the main reach of the Mad River remained.

The end of the narrow gauge was not far away. By this time the stock market had crashed plunging the country into severe depression reducing the demand for lumber. Automobiles and buses were diverting passengers from the Arcata to Korbel line. On June 6, 1931 the last passenger train ran on the A&MR.<ref>''Blue Lake Advocate'' June 6, 1931, page 1</ref> However narrow gauge freight trains were still delivering lumber to the Arcata Wharf as late as September 1933.<ref>''Blue Lake Advocate'' September 23, 1933, page 1</ref>

Lumber mills were shut down; sometimes temporarily reactivated and shut down again. The dual gauge railroad remained between Korblex and Korbel until February 1942 when it was reworked to standard gauge. The narrow gauge rails between Arcata and Korblex were removed. <ref>''Blue Lake Advocate'' April 18, 1942, page 1</ref> The rails up the Mad River were reworked and inclines removed.<ref>''Blue Lake Advocate'' February 14, 1942, page 1</ref> The A&MR and Northern Redwood Lumber were now standard gauge railroads.

Compiled by [[User:John Hall|John F. Hall]].

<span class="paracap">T</span>'''he''' locomotive roster for the Arcata & Mad River Railroad is complicated. It involves four different companies and three different numberings of the locomotives. This is a roster of the 45.25 inch gauge locomotives that were used on the Arcata Transportation Company, the Arcata & Mad River Railroad, the Humboldt Lumber Mill Co., and the Northern Redwood Lumber Co. The standard gauge locomotives of the Arcata & Mad River Railroad and the Northern Redwood Lumber Co. are not listed. The Northern Redwood Lumber Heisler locomotives are listed according to the deliver dates and locomotive weight reported in the ''Blue Lake Advocate''. These dates and weights do not completely aggree with Stanley Borden's roster published in the ''Western Railroader'' Issue 176 nor the same roster compiled by Walter Casler in ''The Heisler Locomotive 1981-1941.'' That roster is included for comparison.

Narrow Gauge Locomotives of the Arcata & Mad River and the Northern Redwood Lumber Co. Railroads

2025-05-07T01:05:01Z

John Hall:

[[Narrow_Gauge_Railroads_of_California|California]] / [[Narrow_Gauge_Railroads_of_California#Common Carrier|Common Carrier]] / [[Arcata & Mad River Railroad]]

Compiled by [[User:John Hall|John F. Hall]].

<span class="paracap">T</span>'''he''' locomotive roster for the Arcata & Mad River Railroad is complicated. It involves four different companies and three different numberings of the locomotives. This is a roster of the 45.25 inch gauge locomotives that were used on the Arcata Transportation Company, the Arcata & Mad River Railroad, the Humboldt Lumber Mill Co., and the Northern Redwood Lumber Co. The standard gauge locomotives of the Arcata & Mad River Railroad and the Northern Redwood Lumber Co. are not listed. The Northern Redwood Lumber Heisler locomotives are listed according to the deliver dates and locomotive weight reported in the ''Blue Lake Advocate''. These dates and weights do not completely aggree with Stanley Borden's roster published in the ''Western Railroader'' Issue 176 nor the same roster compiled by Walter Casler in ''The Heisler Locomotive 1981-1941.'' That roster is included for comparison.

[[Reference]] / [[Historic Railroad Paint Color Index]]

==Passenger Equipment==

December 17, 1887 Oakland Daily Evening Tribune, page 4

The passenger cars of the narrow gauge road are all being repainted, so as to be uniform in color and in the name of the road, which appears under the eaves. Heretofore a great variety of names has appeared there, including “S. P. C.,” “S. P. C. R. R.,” “South Pacific Coast,” “South Pacific Coast Railroad,” and “South Pacific Coast R. R.” the new name “South Pacific Coast Railway” is being substituted.

Note: There is no photographic evidence that the word “Railway” was added to the cars.

Butte and Plumas Railway Locomotive Roster

Compiled by [[User:John Hall|John F. Hall]].
<br><br>
<span class="paracap">T</span>'''he''' [[Butte and Plumas Railway]] was incorporated in 1910 and controlled by the Tahoe Land and Lumber Company. The Swayne Lumber Company had a small logging railroad nearby. In 1912 the idle TL&LCo and B&P were purchased by the West Side Lumber Company. Sometime in 1912 the West Side exchanged the B&P No. 4 Shay for the Hetch Hetchy and Yosemite Valley Railroad's No.1 Heisler. The TL&LCo and B&P remained idle until 1917 when the WSLCo. sold the TL&LCo. and B&P to the Swayne Lumber Company. The SLCo. then combined the locomotive roster of its railroad with the B&P roster and renumbered the locomotives accordingly.

West Side Lumber Company

2024-03-02T17:03:19Z

John Hall:

[[Narrow Gauge Railroads of California|California]] / [[Narrow_Gauge_Railroads_of_California#Logging|Logging]] / [[West Side Lumber Company]]

===History===
<span style="float:right;">__TOC__</span>
<span class="paracap">O</span>'''n''' May 31st 1898, The West Side Flume & Lumber Company was formed when William H. Crocker, Henry J. Crocker, Andre Poniatowski, Thomas Bullock and Charles Gardner bought 55,000 acres of timber just outside of present day Tuolumne (Then called "Carter's"). A small mill was constructed in Carter's, and a small railroad stretched out 10 miles east into the woods to Nashton.

Although most of the timber logged in the first years went straight to the building of the saw mill, by 1900 there was enough timber being brought into keep the mill going year round even though the railroad shut down during the winter. In 1900 the West Side Flume & Lumber Co. incorporated their railroad as a common carrier, the Hetch Hetchy and Yosemite Valleys hoping to offer passenger service to the Hetch Hetchy valley on to Yosemite National Park. Passenger trains were operated twice weekly and later three times weekly. Ridership on the line was low with the primary riders being employees of the company.
In 1903 the operation was sold to W. R. Thorsten of Michigan and the corporate name was shortened to the West Side Lumber Co. In 1904 the railroad gave up on passenger service focusing on its growing lumber.

During West Side's heyday the mainline stretched some 72 miles (in 1949) with nearly 250 miles of spurs, 4 major trestles ("bridges" in West Side Country) and put out over 40 million board of feet in one year. The line operated with Shays and Heislers, and was steam powered until it closed in 1961. The West Side's last operating season was 1960, when the summer logging season ended in the fall the equipment was positioned in expection of another season starting in the Spring. Empty log cars were left in the woods, and the engines recieved normal winter maintenance. Then rather suddenly, the company announced that it would be cheaper to use contract trucks to haul the logs. In June 1961 one train was run in the woods to haul the empties to the mill, and the railroad was put on standby, to see how well the trucks worked. The logging railroad never ran again.

After closure there were several attempts to operate the railroad as a tourist line. The most famous of these was by Glen Bell, the founder of Taco Bell. Bell laid track around the mill property and converted most of the remaining mill site into a historic attraction, steam powered trains operated around the mill site while a gasoline powered motorcar ran trains out to the River Bridge site. However when these efforts failed the WS was sold off to various investors over the years, the remaining mill site property is currently owned by the Tuolumne Band of Me-Wuk Indians, of the Tuolumne Rancheria. Equipment from the West Side survives through out the country primarily on tourist railroads such as the Yosemite Mountain Sugar Pine, Roaring Camp, the Midwest Central and the Colorado Railroad Museum.

===History===
<span class="paracap">I</span> '''n''' late 1879 Leon C. Marshutz and Thomas G. Cantrell formed a partnership and established The National Iron Works on the northwest corner of Main and Howard Streets in San Francisco. Leon Marshutz was the businessman and Thomas Cantrell the machinist. Both had already worked many years in the foundry and iron works companies of San Francisco.

In 1861 Mr. Cantrell, age 24<ref name="census">1880 US Census</ref>, started his career in San Francisco working as a machinist for the S.F. Engine and Machine Works at Market and Fremont streets.<ref>San Francisco Directory for 1861</ref> He then worked for various iron works in the same vicinity. By 1868 he had formed a partnership with William Hawkins, the Hawkins and Cantrell Machine Works on Beale Street<ref>San Francisco Directory for 1861</ref>. In January 1879 William Hawkins and Leon Cantrell dissolved their partnership. The business was continued by William Hawkins.<ref>Daily Alta California, 26 January 1879, page 3</ref>

<span style="float:right;margin-left:20px;">[[File:Marshutz and Cantrell National Iron Works 1899.jpg|thumb|'''NATIONAL IRON WORKS 1899'''<br>[https://www.loc.gov/resource/g4364sm.g4364sm_g00813189902/?sp=5&st=image&r=-0.507,0.472,2.015,1.43,0 ''Sanborn Fire Map of San Francisco 1899'']|335px|link=]]</span>

Mr. Marshutz entered the San Francisco Foundry scene in 1867 at age 21<ref name="census"></ref>, forming a partnership with Daniel B. Hinckley, James Brands, and Daniel E. Hayes as Hinckley & Co., the proprietors of the Fulton Foundry on the corner of Fremont and Tehama Streets.<ref>San Francisco Directory for 1867</ref> Daniel B. Hinckley had established the Fulton foundry years earlier. Thomas Cantrell had worked there in 1862 and 1863. In May 1877 the co-partnership was dissolved with Hinckley continuing to own the Fulton Foundry.<ref>Daily Alta California, 15 May 1877, page 4</ref> In 1878 Leon Marshutz listed his profession in the San Francisco Directory as a merchant with an office at Market and Bush streets.<ref>San Francisco Directory for 1878</ref>

In 1879 Thomas Cantrell listed no profession in the San Francisco Directory. Leon Marshutz continued to be listed as a merchant.<ref>San Francisco Directory for 1879</ref>
By 1880 Marshutz and Cantrell formed a partnership and established The National Iron Works located on the corner of Main and Howard Streets in San Francisco.<ref>San Francisco Directory for 1880</ref> In September 1888 a fire in the next door Sash & Door factory wiped out not only the National Iron Works but many of the factories from Main Street to the Bay.<ref> San Francisco Examiner September 10, 1888, page 1</ref> Marshutz & Cantrell rebuilt the National Iron Works and continued in this location for 17 more years. The company specialized in Street Dummies, Dolbeer patent Engines, logging and mining equipment.

In May 1905 the National Iron Works was sold to Robert S. Moore and John T. Scott. The firm was renamed to Moore & Scott Iron Works.<ref>San Francisco Call, 16 May 1905</ref>

===Marshutz & Cantrell Locomotives===
Marshutz & Cantrell constructed some 24 locomotives. The majority were standard gauge. Some were five foot gauge. Six were narrow gauge.

===History===
<span class="paracap">T</span>he Golden State and Miners' Iron Works was a San Francisco Company formed by the merger of two smaller firms. In 1860 the Miners' Foundry was formed as a partnership between William H. Howland, Horace B. Angell, and Ervin T. King. The Foundry built and supplied all sorts of machinery for Western mines. The key products were the Howland Patent Rotary Quartz Mill and the Knox
Amalgamator. The amalgamator was patented by Israel W. Knox. The proprietor was a man named Cyrus Palmer and the employees included molders, pattern makers, and machinists. The firm was located on First Street between Howard and Folsom.

[[File:Miners Foundry San Francisco sm.jpg|300px|right|link=https://www.pacificng.com/wiki/images/c/c7/Miners_Foundry_San_Francisco_sm.jpg]]In 1861 Wales L. Palmer, along with partners, opened the Golden State Foundry. The chief product of this firm was mantel grates, however they also advertised the Knox Amalgamator. The firm was located on Battery street near Market then moved the following year to First Street just south of Market. Both firms prospered supplying machinery to the mines of California and Nevada and the growing mechanical and steam power needs of the West.

As the years passed the partnerships changed and by 1876 Horace B. Angell and Cyrus Palmer were partners in the Miners' Foundry while Wales L. Palmer and Israel W. Knox were partners in the Golden State Iron Works. Then in August 1877<ref>''Sacramento Daily Record-Union'', August 6, 1877, page 3</ref> the Golden State and Miners' Iron Works incorporated to manufacture and deal in machinery and iron. The Directors were Horace B. Angell, Wales L. Palmer, R. F. Knox, Cyrus Palmer and C. F. Moulthrop. Wales L. Palmer was President and Israel W. Knox was the Secretary. The company was located on First Street in an expansion of the the original Miners' Foundry between Howard Street and Folsom Street.

===History===
<span class="paracap">I</span> '''n''' late 1879 Leon C. Marshutz and Thomas G. Cantrell formed a partnership and established The National Iron Works on the northwest corner of Main and Howard Streets in San Francisco. Leon Marshutz was the businessman and Thomas Cantrell the machinist. Both had already worked many years in the foundry and iron works companies of San Francisco.

In 1861 Mr. Cantrell, age 24<ref name="census">1880 US Census</ref>, started his career in San Francisco working as a machinist for the S.F. Engine and Machine Works at Market and Fremont streets.<ref>San Francisco Directory for 1861</ref> He then he worked for various iron works in the same vicinity. By 1868 he had formed a partnership with William Hawkins, the Hawkins and Cantrell Machine Works on Beale Street<ref>San Francisco Directory for 1861</ref>. In January 1879 William Hawkins and Leon Cantrell dissolved their partnership. The business was continued by William Hawkins.<ref>Daily Alta California, 26 January 1879, page 3</ref>

Mr. Marshutz entered the San Francisco Foundry scene in 1867 at age 21<ref name="census"></ref>, forming a partnership with Daniel B. Hinckley, James Brands, and Daniel E. Hayes as Hinckley & Co., the proprietors of the Fulton Foundry on the corner of Fremont and Tehama Streets.<ref>San Francisco Directory for 1867</ref> Daniel B. Hinckley had established the Fulton foundry years earlier. Thomas Cantrell had worked there in 1862 and 1863. In May 1877 the co-partnership was dissolved with Hinckley continuing to own the Fulton Foundry.<ref>Daily Alta California, 15 May 1877, page 4</ref> In 1878 Leon Marshutz listed his profession in the San Francisco Directory as a merchant with an office at Market and Bush streets.<ref>San Francisco Directory for 1878</ref>

In 1879 Thomas Cantrell listed no profession in the San Francisco Directory. Leon Marshutz continued to be listed as a merchant.<ref>San Francisco Directory for 1879</ref>
By 1880 Marshutz and Cantrell formed a partnership and established The National Iron Works located on the corner of Main and Howard Streets in San Francisco.<ref>San Francisco Directory for 1880</ref> In September 1888 a fire in the next door Sash & Door factory wiped out not only the National Iron Works but many of the factories from Main Street to the Bay.<ref> San Francisco Examiner September 10, 1888, page 1</ref> Marshutz & Cantrell rebuilt the National Iron Works and continued in this location for 17 more years. The company specialized in Street Dummies, Dolbeer patent Engines, logging and mining equipment.

In May 1905 the National Iron Works was sold to Robert S. Moore and John T. Scott. The firm was renamed to Moore & Scott Iron Works.<ref>San Francisco Call, 16 May 1905</ref>

===Marshutz & Cantrell Locomotives===
Marshutz & Cantrell constructed some 24 locomotives. The majority were standard gauge. Some were five foot gauge. Six were narrow gauge.

===History===
<span class="paracap">T</span>he Golden State and Miners' Iron Works was a San Francisco Company formed by the merger of two smaller firms. In 1860 the Miners' Foundry was formed as a partnership between William H. Howland, Horace B. Angell, and Ervin T. King. The Foundry built and supplied all sorts of machinery for Western mines. The key products were the Howland Patent Rotary Quartz Mill and the Knox
Amalgamator. The amalgamator was patented by Israel W. Knox. The proprietor was a man named Cyrus Palmer and the employees included molders, pattern makers, and machinists. The firm was located on First Street between Howard and Folsom.

[[File:Miners Foundry San Francisco sm.jpg|300px|right|link=https://www.pacificng.com/wiki/images/c/c7/Miners_Foundry_San_Francisco_sm.jpg]]In 1861 Wales L. Palmer, along with partners, opened the Golden State Foundry. The chief product of this firm was mantel grates, however they also advertised the Knox Amalgamator. The firm was located on Battery street near Market then moved the following year to First Street just south of Market. Both firms prospered supplying machinery to the mines of California and Nevada and the growing mechanical and steam power needs of the West.

As the years passed the partnerships changed and by 1876 Horace B. Angell and Cyrus Palmer were partners in the Miners' Foundry while Wales L. Palmer and Israel W. Knox were partners in the Golden State Iron Works. Then in August 1877<ref>''Sacramento Daily Record-Union'', August 6, 1877, page 3</ref> the Golden State and Miners' Iron Works incorporated to manufacture and deal in machinery and iron. The Directors were Horace B. Angell, Wales L. Palmer, R. F. Knox, Cyrus Palmer and C. F. Moulthrop. Wales L. Palmer was President and Israel W. Knox was the Secretary. The company was located on First Street in an expansion of the the original Miners' Foundry between Howard Street and Folsom Street.

It is not known how many railroad locomotives were produced by this firm. Only two have been confirmed; the [[Arcata & Mad River Railroad|Arcata & Mad River Railroad's]] ''[[North Fork]]'' and ''[[Eureka]]'' [[:Category:45.25in_Gauge_Railroads|45.25in gauge]] 0-4-4 and 0-4-2 locomotives built in 1883 and 1886.<ref>''The Daily Times-Telephone'', Eureka, August 7, 1883, page 2</ref><ref>''The Daily Times-Telephone'', Eureka February 27, 1886 page 3</ref><br><br>

In 1861 Mr. Cantrell, age 24<ref name="census">1880 US Census</ref>, started his career in San Francisco working as a machinist for the S.F. Engine and Machine Works at Market and Fremont streets.<ref>San Francisco Directory for 1861</ref> He then he worked for various iron works in the same vicinity. By 1868 he had formed a partnership with William Hawkins, the Hawkins and Cantrell Machine Works on Beale Street<ref>San Francisco Directory for 1861</ref>. In January 1879 William Hawkins and Leon Cantrell dissolved their partnership. The business was continued by William Hawkins.<ref>Daily Alta California, 26 January 1879, page 3</ref>
