Little River Railroad: repair crew at Elkmont shop
-
Railroads were key to large-scale logging operations. Companies build narrow-gauge tracks to connect timber operations deep in the mountains to commercial railroad lines. Little River Lumber Company, established in 1901, used ten Shay locomotive engines to pull flatcars full of logs along the company railroad. Timber was hauled from deep within the Great Smoky Mountains to the company sawmill at Townsend. By the 1920s, 300,000 acres had been clear-cut.
