SVRR Archive committee member Martin Hansen helped me identify this photo some time ago. This is the Sierra Nevada Wood & Lumber Co. at Hobart Mills, Ca. The railroad in the foreground is the narrow gauge logging line that ran out into the woods. Here is a link to a great website with the history of this operation: [www.truckeehistory.org]
The scan is from the SVRR Archive.
