| 152 | Edouard Lagache | There was only one West Side Logging Company. It is literally known World-wide by those who have any interest in Railroading and Model Railroading. Surely that historical value should be of interest for anyone seeking to create something to draw tourists like a Casino. Why simply draw tourists from just California, instead of Canada, Europe, the rest of the United States, etc. |
| 153 | Jerry R. Larsen | I have fond memories of the West Side starting with a trip as a 11 year old in 1956 and my
dad having a meeting with Fred Ellis while I watched a Heisler work the transfer with the Sierra from the car in front of the West Side office.
I later meet Francis Cottle and on a minor basis helped him with the Westside and Cherry Valley RR. Tuolumne City and the surrounding area are deepley imbeded on my mind.
I have to admit I am a golfer but would re-route a course to save the history!

| 154 | William Van Lenten | I own the Southern Locomotive Works and build 2 foot gauge steam engines. I want to see all the 2 ft. gauge railroads saved. It is all part of our heratage. People seem to be OK with saving any old spannish or english buildings, why not our railroads?? |

| 157 | Bruce W. Lodge | As a fairly new resident in the Tuolumne City area I have quickly become interested in the history of the community - especially the West Side Lumber Company. I feel it is crucial that we do all we can to preserve the few remaining physical manifestations of the vibrant Tuolumne past. Doing so will only add to the quality of life area residents enjoy in the future. We know the importance Native Americans place on the preservation of their rich and often tragic past. I am confident that their understanding of the importance of the past will guide their decision making and efforts when it comes to helping to preserve the history of the Tuolumne City community and the West Side Lumber Co. |
| 158 | Anonymous | Something needs to be done to preserve California history. |
| 159 | Phil Morrow | Every possible piece of WestSide History should be preserved. This was a unique railroad. A fine example of a significant part of western US history. |
| 160 | Dick Bublitz | Any thing that can be saved of this historical treasure will be a plus. Too bad the state or feds did not step up to help in the preservation before it was too late. |

| 164 | Dan Moore | Please don't let this bit of history vanish. We have plenty of golf courses in the world but how many logging railroads. |
| 165 | Sandy Coots | I think it is of great importance to preserve this operation not only as a way of life and the audacity by the method by which the logs were moved to the mill. Crude by todays standards, note worthy in that it was/is not needed to be perfect to do a job day in day out. |

| 167 | Graham Hoffman | Even tho I'm a golfer, don't we have enuf golf courses in this country. Let's support this program and preserve some of our country's history!!!!!!!!! |
| 168 | Nancy Celentano | |
| 169 | Chris Allan | Quite fitting as members of the Tribe worked the WSLCo. track crews back in the logging days. |
| 170 | Corey Daspit | Please save anything that can be saved! |
| 171 | Chris Thompson | |
| 172 | GLINN PHILLIPS | YES SAVE WHAT HISTORY IS LEFT. THIS WAS A GREAT ERA IN THE HISTORY OF THIS COUNTRY. |
| 173 | Clyde R.Putman | Westside is an important historical document for a lot of reasons. It is a name that I heard over and over as I was growing up with an interest in trains and later historic preservation. It would mean a lot to be able to say about Westside "is" rather than "was". |

| 179 | Casey Akin | Please save as much as you can. Golf courses can be put anywhere...Heck make the rr part of the course! |
| 180 | Kevin S. Kohler, PE | Seems to me like the best of all worlds: preserve history without asking others to forfeit any of their plans! |
| 181 | Gordon Reynolds | I feel the equipment and history of the West Side Lumber Company should be preserved as part of our heritage |
| 182 | Ray Cadd | The West Side is an important and irreplaceable part of, not only railroad, but California history. |
| 183 | James Hefner | |
| 184 | stuart olson | history is important logging and railroads did mutch to make this country what it is and and this is all i have to offer good luck |
| 185 | Alan Azzarello | |
| 186 | Jeff Badger | Save what you can for posterity. |
| 187 | David Dominguez | |
| 188 | Gus Sitas | This is a very worthwhile project. |

| 190 | Roger & Connie Graeber | I hope this works Mike |
| 191 | Roger & Connie Graeber | I hope this works Mike |
| 192 | James E Freeland | This is a worth while endevor! |
| 193 | Rory Glasgow | Thank you for your efforts. I'm from Texas, and we are facing a crisis in our state parks. The Texas State Railroad (http://www.texasstaterailroad.com/) may very well be shut down and turned into a static display due to budget cuts. It will be sad day for us Texans if this happens. I hope that you succeed in preserving such an important part of California's past. |
| 194 | Michael Carlsson | An amazing railroad. If successfully preserved with a good sense for the original railroad line, it would be world famous. In cooperation with a 'backwoods styled' casino and golf course, the three could form something really unique. |
| 195 | Mike Flaherty | Good luck! |
| 196 | Anonymous | We need more Railroads saved like this but don't just let part of it go try and protect the whole thing! I would love to ride this railroad in 30 to 40 years from now. |
| 197 | Richard J Blake | I am in full support of preserving the history of the West Side Logging Co. Railroad as it is vitally important to historians, train enthusiasts and model railroaders. A benefit to all will be realized with the proposals for preservation in increasing tourism and expanding demographics in the region. It is a win win proposal for all parties involved. Please support this plan and keep the WSLC from fading into nothing but history books. |
| 198 | Spencer Noe | I for one would really like to see something preserved of this railroad that essentially made this town a place on the map. |
| 199 | P Pardoe-Matthews | |
| 200 | JohnArmonk | The line deserves to stay forever, and no construction can ever change that... |
