There were two logging steam locomotives running on a track,
each over 100 years old! They have new boilers in first class
condition.
The first Branch #9 EDGE&TA show of the year was put on by
Bill Wallner of Cave Junction, Oregon, and club members Fred Dowson
and Jack Heald.
We were joined by club members from Eureka and Fortuna,
California: John Walters, Lawrence Hindly, Andrew Wilson and
brother Scott, Ernest Carter, Craig Newman, Otto Roy and Roy

The corn sheller and two feed grinders were kept busy. A feed
store furnisher shelled corn to grind hod corn fodder to run
through the old corn fodder cutter.
Weather was real nice. A good time was had by all. A dear old
lady from Hungary really enjoyed the engines and corn grinder. She
said they still use them in Hungary to grind feed, make corn meal,
flour, and to pump water and thrash grain. There were also three
young folks from Ethiopia and they took a lot of notes and
pictures.
