Welcome to Dawson
Southern Pacific's Corvallis Local has just arrived at the Hull-Oakes steam powered sawmill, located at the end of the Bailey Branch. Since SP did not have a runaround track here, the local had to make a seven mile backup move from Alpine Jct. to reach the mill.
The stack of 12x12s at left is the mill’s bread and butter. Hull-Oakes is renowned for its ability to saw very large logs into very large lumber.
