| WWSL 1st Subdivision |
History. Logging Companies operated in the first half of the 20th Century with lumber camps located near their leased lands and cutting sites. These locations
Operations.
The Olympic Peninsula Logging Company maintains OPLC Logging Camp #1 approximately 10 miles north of Brady, WA. At this location the Logging Company has steam engine servicing facilities, a logging camp consisting of cooking and dining facilities, housing and recreation facilities, a two track log reloading facility, and an interchange track with the WWSL.
The WWSL has a main track with passing siding and shares the interchange track with the OPLC. The WWSL main line parallels the OPLC main line along Camp 1.
Design Considerations.
I wanted this module to replicate two aspects of logging railroad operations: a small steam locomotive servicing facility, and a 1930's logging camp.I also wanted this module to be the interchange point between the OPLC and the WWSL. I needed a passing track for WWSL trains on the Northern Division.
