McGowin-Foshee Lumber Co-Willow, FL

greenspun.com : LUSENET : Shortline, Narrow Gauge and Industrial Railroading : One Thread

Information and photos needed of the McGowin-Foshee Lumber Co at Willow, FL. They had 3 locos and a system of rails to log the northern Manatee County area. When the timber ran out around 1935, the company, including the town of Willow, shut down. Only the mill foundation remains today. Any info provided, especially photos, would be greatly appreciated.

Thanks Jim Herron Florida Gulf Coast RR Museum
