Long Description: This area, known as Mashek, was once home to a booming logging industry. The biggest cut was 116 million feet of logs in 1912. During the big Mashek fire of 1926, 2,000,000 feet of logs at the landings were saved by two fire cars. Each car had an 8,000-gallon capacity tank, equipped with powerful steam pumpers that would throw a stream of water a distance of a city block.
The railroad was the main mode of transportation during this era. Logs were not the only thing shipped on the railroad cars. In the early 1900’s as many as 900 whitetail deer were shipped from here. The old building on the north side of what is now County Rd. 426 was a store and boarding house for the railroad workers. The house just south of the abandoned tracks and the Mashek sign was once the home of the section foreman.
There is $1.00 for the FTF.
