Discovering Abandoned Railroad Tunnel In Loleta, California

It was originally built to allow the Pacific Lumber Company, which owned huge tracts of redwood in the Eel valley, to bring logs to their huge new Scotia mill. The most ambitious of these was a five-mile-long mule-powered, wooden-track railroad that ran around the western end of Table Bluff, from McNulty Slough to the then-new settlement of Southport Landing, a couple of miles southwest of Fields Landing (below the present-day Wiyot reservation). Built in 1873, the wooden railroad barely survived for five years, and a huge storm in the winter of 1878 permanently wrecked it. Then they built this railroad with the tunnel and it was constructed in 1883. We walked from the small town of Lolita then went south to walk across a railroad bridge.
