| 311 | Walt Pitter | You must preserve this site because it was the most famous narrow gauge lumber company railroads. The site needs work now, once it is gone there is no bringing it back. |
| 312 | Alan Levy | We should not loose this bit of our history. |

| 314 | Michael Macdonald | This is History. This industry built California and the nation. Save it!! This is a State treasure in land and beauty for all to see and explore, not read in books and pictures of something that once was and is now a Townhome! |
| 315 | John Gillotti | Please save part of this great railroad. Please contact me if there is anyway I can help.

| 321 | Shane Jackman | I have a fasination with this old Railroad. I am a young Buisness owner, and would help to support this IMPORTANT cause! |

| 323 | Steven Haworth | This is a rare piece of US history - it's worth preserving! But we must act now, before it's too late! |
| 324 | Peter Davidson Jr. | The historical sites of industry that played large roles in the development of California are an important part of our State's history. The site of the West Side Lumber Co. is a major example of such.
I would think by the establishment of a tourist RR if possible, if this were to be able to co-exist with developement plans for a recreational facility by the new owners, then possibly both could benifit by drawing more attendees. In other word could no a win-win design solution emerge if that goal was but into the development design program. |
| 325 | Paul Gardner | The Westside Lumber Company Railway is well known to railway historians and railfans around the world. If the Me-wuk Tribe could restore this railway to working order, thousands upon thousands of people would travel to Tuolumne to see and ride behind the little geared engines that brought the Sugar Pine Logs down the mountain for all those years. I know, because I've ridden the train as far as River Bridge and it is one of my fondest railway memories. The prestige and good will for the Me-Wuk tribe,if they could accomplish this feat, would be beyond measure. |

| 337 | Anonymous | I love the WS and would love to see the natives (who were their a long time before the railroad came) and your group to achieve a compromise that serves both interestgroups best. NarrowGauge can be a huge tourist attraction as you well know. |
| 338 | Timothy Boles | This organization could bring more tourist money into the county and into Tuolumne City. It would also bring more attention to the tribe in a way other than the casino itself |

| 345 | Anonymous | As a fan of the West Side, I believe it should be preserved as to the historical background of the last narrow gauge logging railroad in Calif. |

| 349 | Barry L. Heppner | Westside is too important to lose to just memories, and as much needs to be preserved for future generations to enjoy and learn from |
| 350 | Anonymous | My husbands father and a partner were owners of Westside after Glenn Bell. We lived on the property in 1993- 94. It was our honeymoon retreat. The buildings were still intact then, and there were so many train cars on the property. The carpenters building still had material in it as well as the old forge area. The train barn that Glen Bell built actually had molds for parts needed to repair.
I was out there last year.....kinda crossed the fence...Sh-h-h-h. and my heart broke. Everything is totally gone, falling apart, and no-one cared. We lived in the little house just up off Turnback Creek, which was the old switching station shown in one of your pictures. I cannot believe that a large part of Californias history was allowed to fall into a state of disrepair, but I suppose money and progress is more important. I would love to see it restored. |
