Re: Argent Lumber Company

Almost nothing remains of the Argent mills at Hardeeville, SC. The old grade can be seen in places, but is mainly a weed-grown mound along some fence lines and little else. Number 1 2-6-0 is in a field in Alabama. #2 2-6-0 is at the Midwest Central in Iowa. #3 2-6-0 is on display at Southern Forest World Museum in Waycross, GA. #4 2-8-0 is on display at the Connecticut Antique Machinery Museum in Kent, CT. #5 2-6-2 is at the Northern Queen Inn in Nevada City, CA. #6 2-6-0 operates at the Midwest Central lettered for her original owner, the Surry Sussex & Southampton. #7 2-8-0 is displayed in Hardeeville, SC. A couple of log cars are in derelict condition at the NJ Museum of Transport. My book ARGENT..Last of The Swamp Rats is now out of print. You may also be able to find copies of Russ Reinberg's 2011 and 2012 issues of the Logging, Mining & Industrial Annuals, which had over 115 pages of photos, maps and plans on Argent.
