Logging Railroads of the Lincoln National Forest, New Mexico

These additional figures include more views of the railroads and other aspects of logging in the Sacramento Mountains. The costs of publication prevent us from being able to include every photo found in the USDA Forest Service files. There are probably many more views in private hands and unknown to the author.
