Ftre Destroys Trestle on Red River Logging Railroad

Fire, evidently started by sparks from a brake shoe, destroyed the Chester Hill Trestle on The Red River Lumber Company's logging railroad 10 miles west of Westwood the night of September 13. The alarm was telephoned by the Federal Forest Service lookout on Mt. Dyer and the Red River fire train responded. The fire which had started eliminated. The new track will be in service within ten days.

Although a daily haul of half a million feet of logs rvas coming over the Chester line, no loss of production will be suffered. Logs arriving from operations north and east of Westrvood are in excess of the plant capacity and decking

Chegter Hill Trestle at the top and center of the trestle had made such headway by the time the train arrived that the damage was beyond repair and the firemen directed their efforts to preventing the spread of the flames to the surrounding forest.

Grading equipment started work the following day and by realignment of the track a bridge at this point will be for the Winter supply is well ahead of schedule.

The Chester Hill trestle, 550 feet long and 5O feet high, had been in service for tll'elve years and over it approximately one billion five hundred million feet of logs had been hauled to the Westwood mill.
