Brooks-Scanlon Lumber Company Surviving Camp Cars |
|
|
|
Caboose #103. Jerry Lamper collection. At least five Brooks-Scanlon camp cars are known to exist. One car served for years storing doors at a retail lumber yard near the south end of Bend, once retired from that the High Desert Museum acquired the body and have moved it to their grounds to be part of their logging camp display should it ever get built. The other four cars were part of the Brooks-Scanlon camp at Sisters and have been moved to the former Shevlin-Hixon sawmill site in Bend where they have been converted to offices. Thanks to Martin Hansen for some information on these cars. |
