"Most of the small artifacts have been moved. Right now, the big problem is the big stuff. It will require big cranes and lowbed trucks to move them. But businesses here, like everyone else, have had a very bad year, so are in no…"

Well, hopefully the economy will keep it from selling very fast. Sorry to hear about the loss of a member over all that bogus deadline/impending sale crap.

Thad Wuest commented on David Berriman's blog post Arcata Flakeboard plant"Zach, All the smaller items have been moved. Now, yesterday, the property is up for public purchase. It would seem that we were lied to regarding the impending sale. No deadline has been enforced and no extension has been talked…"

Thank you, powerpawsnw, for your comments.With no color chips preserved, I'll attempt some educated guesses.Since redwood figured very prominently in, "The Redwood Empire", I'll submit that the dark green was closely matched to the foliage of the redwood tree. In Fred Stint's book, NWP, vol 1, page 141, we find Nos. 52 and 53. No. 52 seems to have little contrast between the greens, but the shadows are well-lit, indicating a bright, overcast day-great for showing detail, but rough for reading…See More

powerpawsnw commented on David Berriman's blog post NWP Steam: 1920 two-tone green"Nobody really knows. 112 never ever wore the 22G, that being solely applied to the NWPs select group of Alco-Schnectady 4-4-0s and a few others including one of the narrow gauge locos. Sadly, no preserved official samples of the greens seem to…"

I seem to remember reading a discussion of nice paint jobs on some NWP steam which included a two tone green in 1920, (not the greens on 112 now). Anyone know what shades of green they actually were?See More

Arcata Flakeboard
This is what I get for posting when I'm tired. The name given in the Times-Standard, Dec. 23, 2011, is "Hambro Group, but in the article it is spelled, "Hasbro Group", several times, so assume, "Hasbro", is correct. Don't know the address, but it is located in the area called, "Korblex", which stood for, "Korbel Exchange", the interchange with the now-gone Arcata & Mad River Rail Road. I emphasize, they did not dismantle their siding, but the mainline out front, (about 250 ft. of…

Arcata Flakeboard plant
Saw something yesterday that got me a little hot. The mainline in front of the plant was torn up, most of the iron was cut up and gone. As I was surveying the damage, a security guard talked to me. He said Haskell was doing it and the right people were notified and put a stop to it. I hope the rail authority will put on a rare display of guts and force them to pay for the damage. This would put a chill on those who think the track structure is there for them to steal.
