Fantastic footage, whoever shot it. I was there for this, and can actually see myself in the video at 7:52, far left of frame. I was 12 at the time. I have a lot of photos, but video was very new back then... just amazing to see and re live it all!
How many of the locos did they still have? For some reason I am thinking that their #3 was the last to leave (now at Roaring Camp). Is this true? Was it acting as a museum at the time?
Huh, thought that Glenn Bell abandoned the operation around 1979. Well, its great to know different! Awesome video of the last strut of the Famous Westside Lumber Company!!!

I was brakeman on the #15 that day. Seems like a lifetime ago!

I rode out 7 miles into the woods on this line. The shop had every pattern needed for replacement castings.
