The Coos Bay Lumber Company started a mill in 1907 and only took a year until they started selling lumber, before increasing it's business. Setting up many logging camps, laying railroad along the way, Coos Bay Lumber Company operated in the mountains in Oregon from 1916 through 1956, directly influencing the growth at Coos Bay, which became a major exporting hub for lumber being stacked on sailing ships and transported to San Francisco. The Heisler could make up to three trips a day dropping of log cars and pulling the newly loaded cars to take down the mountain to dump the logs into Coos Bay. The Coos Bay Lumber Company was considered the most innovative lumber company of its time when logging was happening everywhere across the Pacific Northwest. Add the Heisler Steam Locomotive Coos Bay Lumber Company #8 2-Truck Modell HR2947 Analog or HR2947S Digital Locomotive to pull these log cars and complete the authentic logging locomotive look!
