Nice pictures, John. I visited Rayonier several times in the 1959-60 era.

The Rayonier railroad did not go all the way into Hoquiam. They had a float operation into Hoquiam and anything coming into or going out from the railroad moved by barge. In steam days they operated out of a location known as "Railroad Camp", near Humtulips. About 1960 they dieselized the railroad with used ex SP Baldwin roadswitchers. They abandoned Railroad Camp and built a new line which completely bypassed Railroad Camp and I suspect some of your pictures may have been taken along this "new" line.

There is quite a bit of information about the Rayonier railroad available online. Google "Rayonier".

This link is to a Trainorders discussion about Railroad Camp

Here is a link to a youtube video of one of the last steam runs by Rayonier # 90

Another discussion thread

There is a whole lot more to look at here. Happy Googling!
