Rayonier's steam operations officially ended with an open house at Railroad Camp, near Humptulips WA on 3-31-62. There was still some steam operation until sometime in 1967, but the main show, with daily steam powered log trains was over, as the diesels came on the property.

I recently acquired a group of negatives taken at RR Camp in the early 60's, including several shots on that fateful day. Here's the first of the series, taken early in the morning.



My first visit was in 1965. By this time #14 was on the deadline, looking pretty sad. 110, 111 and 38 were still shiny and the two saddletankers were hot, but just sitting. I never got to see any of them in operation at Rayonier.
