ALGOMA RAILROADS
August 5, 1912: "The Big Basin Lumber company started this morning the delivery of 1,300 ties for the Algoma Lumber company. The material is now being hauled through the city, and loaded for transportation to the mill.
Extensive work is being planned by the mill company. Already considerable track has been laid from the mill into the woods, and it is the intention to extend the line as the conditions require." (The Evening Herald)

August 21, 1912: "Although the Southern Pacific line between Weed and this city has been open but two years, the company has already renewed the track, replacing the 60-pound steel rails first laid with 80-pind rails. This is regarded as a significant index of the company's policy to keep up to date and have the line maintained in the best possible condition.
Much of the 60-pound steel removed from the local division has been sold, and last night at 8:35 o'clock there arrived a work train with a consignment of rails which it had picked up during the day along the road to be delivered to the Algoma Lumber company on its extension from the mill at Algoma to the woods. Part of the rails for this work were brought by the lumber company from Pokegama off the old Pokegama logging road, when the mill was removed Pokegama to Algoma.
All told, the lumber company has bought nearly three miles of 56-pound rails from the Southern Pacific company, the purchases to date aggregating 14,000 feet." (The Evening Herald)
