    Thanks for doing this. My grandfather (Glen Fogleman) was the finance guy for the Calif Door Co. He took me to Caldor and Diamond Springs many times to watch the operations. He is the one who purchased the Shea locos from the factory in Lima, OH. With help from the engineer, I drove Shea #4. I also watched the electric mill in operation sawing logs. It brings back memories. Joel Laurance

    I know about limbing and pulling chain. And was blessed to explore old gold mines. We had a can that we would push back further and further. My Father's only rule was never to go in one without a friend on the outside. My family had an old sawmill there. I just lost my last vestige of that property.
