What questions to ask a former feed mill manager?

Fri, 2020-01-24 19:11 — Craig Townsend

One of my modeling projects is a model of TD Feeds in Redmond, WA. It was torn down in 2000-2001 time frame. About 10 years ago, I managed to get a email address from the Redmond Historical Society of a former manager of the operation. We emailed back and forth for about a year. He sent me,photos and information. I saved the photos, but one day I lost my entire email account (school shut it down because I was no longer a student). I lost everything.

First blog entry for me...

Copper Smelting in Southeastern Arizona circa 1916

Sat, 2020-01-11 20:25 — RBrunner

I am planning a model railroad to represent the operations of the El Paso & Southwestern System as it provided service to the smelters (as well as supplies to the Calvary camp) in Douglas, Arizona around the year 1916.

This Sanborn map from 1929 shows the overall layout and track plan for the smelter I would like to represent on my railroad.
