Description

The railroad logging era of the lumber industry in Pennsylvania has been largely ignored by historians. The log railroad supplied the wood ingredients for more than 600 saw mills, tanneries, wood chemical companies, and stave mills beginning with the first known railroad operation in 1864 in Jefferson County and ending in 1948 in Elk County. The variety and size of these railroads were extensive; no other state ever approached the diversity in Pennsylvania.
The story of the railroad era will be covered by this series of histories. These books will deal with geographical areas, the empires of lumbermen, and the manufacture of specific products stemming from the forests. They will be published over a five year period. Each book will represent more than a decade of research and will be written by one of three lumber railroad historians. While each book will be written and credited to a single author, in actuality they will represent the contributions of all three - Walter C. Casler, Benjamin F. G. Kline, Jr., and Thomas T. Taber, III.
