Four railway lines used the estuary of Lang Creek for logging from 1894 to 1923. Part of the Haslam Landscape
The railway ran from Lang Creek estuary log dump and booming grounds east to Whittall Creek, then north for 7-8 miles near Weldwood road (Duck Lake FSR3). This would have gone into the heart of the famed "J claim" old growth timber, and claim 913 north of that. This line was built and operated 1894 -1902 by the Moodyville Sawmill Company. "Old Curly" at logging camp up the CoastPossibly Old Curly was used here c.1995 Then in 1902 BC Mills Timber and Trading Company (originally "Hastings Mill", Capt e. Stamp's firm) bought the Moodyville licence and worked it until c.1910. |
The railway ran from Lang Creek estuary log dump and booming grounds northwest to Kelly creek, then up Zilinsky road for four miles (into the white squares on the 1923 map) This line was built and operated 1911-1915 by the Vancouver Timber and Trading, then 1915-1919 by the Lamb Lumber Company |
