looking for locations of logging camps sugar pine resovor by forrest hill ca.
Hi..I lived up in Forest Hill in the late 70′s and there were 3 mills up on the Divide. The Big Mill was just west of town along the road, The Upper Mill was small, and at the other end of town. A few miles northeast of town, up the Divide was the turn off to Big Resivor, and the Hamlet of Baker.
Hues ? Mill was out Big Resivor Rd. on the left. It was torn down and removed before 1980. The Upper Mill ended with a similar fate while later.
Bendix Corp. bought out American Forest Products, and The Big Mill, Truck Shops where closed. My Father was a Truck Mechanic, and Retired in 85-86. When they closed. The Whole mill site, was turned into a new High School.
I’ld forgotten….Baker ….was Baker Ranch . There was a Large Building, which had a huge stone fire place, and was the Bar, and accross the bar was an Orchard, and Mobile Home Park.
acroynom NBNR in El Dorado Co. adjacent to US Highway 50 at Post mile 54. Any info. on what logging R/R this was
it was the placerville camino and lake tahoe railroad,but it never went past camino . they did it because the goverment gave them every other section of land along the route
Thanks for the post, Bob. The every other section explanation makes too much sense to not be valid.

Well, what you’ve told me isn’t enough information for me to be able to give you much help, but if I did have more information, I still might not be able to help you.
Is the NBNR on some old railroad car, a wall of some sort, or ????
The only RR I know of that had that acronym was the Nicolet Badger Northern Railroad which was not in this area, but that doesn’t mean that cars or locomotives didn’t end up out here.
