In October of 1985 I made a very uneducated search for any remains of the old Linville River Railroad. I was bumping along the backroads when I came across this sawmill.



I only know it was in Avery County, probably near Linville, North Carolina.



There was quite a collection of old, belt driven woodworking machines in the open sheds.



And it was not abandoned. Logs were lined up to be cut using this ancient equipment.
