Whole page with text & photos on the Hammond Logging Railroad that ran 7 miles between Samoa and Crannell. See photo looking south along Clam Beach; view west of the Crannell overpass trestle with loaded at Flat cars. The Navy Siding for the spot where pipelines could carry 100,000 gal/day of "gasoline" (PT thinks Kerosene) to the LAES Airport for the Fido system. Jack Trego, conductor, told author Chet Schaworzkopf , many things for this report. He noted the great forest fire of 1945 destroyed all the trestles in the hills, burned railroad ties & twisted rails . So Hammond converted the railroad beds to roads. Now big trucks bring logs from as far as Big Lagoon & dump them at Crannell. The flat cars carry about 250,000 BF per trip.
