Re: Re-Dedication of New Mexico Lumber Co. 7 at LC

Well, depending on WHICH SIDE you look at, you should find the appropriate lettering. Like in the 1975 restoration, one side will be lettered "The New Mexico Lumber Company", and the other side "Oregon Lumber Company". This will honor both her commercial operators. She was lettered BLACK HILLS CENTRAL when received in 1970, but not enough "sides" to include that one. As more trimming gets completed, she's looking better every day. Will still need to build new doors and windows this winter, but nearly complete or other work, just need to remount her "jewelery", like builders plate (copies), the large brass 7's and SHAY letters.
