Description |
English: Caption on image: Simpson Camp 7. C. Kinsey Photo. No. 30 PH Coll 516.3980 Sol G. Simpson and his family moved to Mason County in 1887, where Simpson worked laying ties and rails for the Port Blakely Mill Company's logging railroad. He formed S. G. Simpson Company in Matlock in 1890. Three of Simpson's brothers joined him in Mason County, and two of them worked for him. Simpson Logging Company opened its first sawmill, the Reed Mill, at Shelton in 1925. Numerous other mills and logging operations along the West Coast have been acquired by Simpson over the years. [Source: James, David. Grisdale: Last of the Logging Camp. Fairfield, Washington: Ye Galleon Press, 1986.] Camp no. 7 was in existence from 1923 to 1933 and was located just west of camp no. 5, south of Wynooche Lake. This particular locomotive was built for the Phoenix Logging Company in January of 1924. It was acquired by Simpson when it bought Phoenix Logging. This locomotive served camps 4, 7 and 3 from 1924 until 1947. It is currently on display in Shelton.
