11 Vincent F. PellitteriThe West Side Lumber Company served as an important player in the history of logging and railroading in the United States. It also served as an important economic factor in the Tuolumne area. It behooves us to retain some of that history so future generations can see some of that history first hand.

21 Frank MarkovichI actually have a cabin in Twain Harte. I fondly remember the Westside and go to view the place on a regular basis, also stopping at the casino on many of the trips. Our heritage in California is very important and saving the buildings or at least part of them and the logging history is important. The Westside was a key business in the area that helped support the town and the area, to lose any part of that would be tragic. Thank you, Frank Markovich

27 Matt AsheI'd be real happy to help when I can Mike. I live here in Tuolumne, so I can definatly participate in a group, work schedules permitting.
28 Michael HobbsI believe this is a worth while cause. That would be a winning situation for everyone involved. Also would lead to larger tourism base.
29 John A. TaubeneckDon't consintrate only on the railroad. Remembor all of those steam donkeys.

31 Tommy LittleGreetings, I am Tommy Little, Co-Chair of the Tuolumne Municipal Advisory Council and manager of Leon Realty & Loans in Tuolumne. How can I help? Tommy 209-928-4901
32 Steve BorgesI really wish the original Westside buildings could be saved and rebuilt in their current locations. There are many golf courses around but how many remnants of a railroad that started or fostered a town. I guess a museum of any kind is better than everything going under the wrecking ball but I would prefer to see more effort into preservation of the original site. The WS mill site is sacred ground to many railfans throughout the world and it's too bad it can't be treated as such.

42 AnonymousI visited the original Westside facilities back in the 1960s and 70s and understand the need to develop the area yet maintain some of the history. I would like to help support this venture.
43 Steve LaBontePreservation of this site is important to California industrial/logging-lumber history
44 Clifford W. SteeleIn addition to my Grandfather, who was a Logger here in Oregon, the second most motivating operation for my HO Scale Layout is the Westside. I have spent many an hour wondering the site and walking the right away. I wish you success with your efforts.

46 Kevin V. BunkerAs an ex-Northern Californian, railroad and lumber historian who has seen, ridden and known the latter-day West Side Lumber Co. railroad, and seeing its legacy slip slowly away altogether, I ardently support well-planned and properly funded local history West Side preservation efforts. I especially wish to see a revived and thriving West Side railroad as a living history museum on wheels that can both teach and entertain visitors to the Tuolumne area and surrounding region.
47 John Lloyd
48 John R. SwigerThe West Side Lumber Company's history is Tuolumne's history, as well as a big part of Tuolumne County's. Those who have worked for the West Side and helped to build the town deserve to have their story preserved.
