PP1220-001. Very Good. The California Western Railroad popularly called the Skunk Train is a freight and heritage railroad in Mendocino County CA. It runs from the railroad's headquarters in the coastal town of Fort Bragg to the interchange with the Northwestern Pacific railroad in Willits. The CWR ran steam and diesel-powered trans until 1952 when it retired its steam locomotive and ran gasoline or diesel-powered motor cards. The route covers 40 miles through Redwood forests along Pudding Creek and the Noyo River. The tracks cross some 30 bridges and trestles and pass through two deep mountain tunnels. The railroad was originally built by the Fort Bragg Redwood Company as the Fort Bragg Railroad in 1885 to carry coast redwood logs to a newly build lumber mill in Fort Bragg; it started with 6.6 miles of track. The railroad was renamed the California Western Railroad & Navigation Company in 1905 when it shipped lumber on a fleet of steam schooners until shipboard transportation of lumber ended in 1940. A 795-foot tunnel was completed in 1911 which allowed connection to Willits from Fort Bragg. The railroad name was shortened to the California Western Railroad in 1947; in 1952 steam locomotives were retired in favor of diesel power. Date for this brochure is estimated on the basis of campgrounds named in the text in particular the San Francisco Boys Club Camp Marwedel which was renamed Camp Mendocino in 1958. Not in Worldcat.
