Speed Graphic Film and Video | Hollywood Outtakes: Hammond Lumber No. 11 @SpeedGraphicFilmVideo | Uploaded November 2022 | Updated October 2024, 2 hours ago.
The Hammond Lumber Railroad operated out of Samoa, on the northern California coast. 2-8-0 No. 11 was built in the Samoa shops in 1910. Who took this pair of shots, coming and going, of her at work? I don't know if anybody knows at this point. This was the only film I could find of her in the archives.
The Hammond Lumber Company operated a large sawmill complex in Samoa on a spit of land across Arcata Bay from Eureka, California. Its railroad brought wood to Samoa from further north up the coast. Connected, for a time, to the national rail network via the Northwestern Pacific, it inherited some of its trackage when the latter pulled out of the area. The last train on the line ran in 1948.
The original film is silent, unfortunately, and I haven't added any sound effects or music.
