One would suspect that the logs would have made it to the Medco mill since it was connected with the Rogue River Valley Railway, which connected with the SP in Medford. Spencer Bullis tried to sell stock to raise $20,000 in a new logging mill. It was not stated where the new mill would be built.

Inside our Medford Railroad Park we have a short piece of rail from the Southern Oregon Traction Company. I believe it came from W. Main Street.

Somewhere I should have copies of SP's track charts showing spurs going into the Medco Mill complex, but it likely won't show much in detail, nor any additional track in the mill.
