Company timberlands on Slater Creek were reached by a railroad trestle across the Eel River. The timber was logged out in the 1920s, and the sawmill burned in 1932. Most of the employee housing was moved to Rio Dell by 1937.[2] The railway trestle and 62-room hotel were destroyed by the Eel River flood of 23 December 1964.[3] Metropolitan Redwood Lumber Company Locomotives
