Still functioning, this steam powered saw mill in Oregon is on the National Historic Register. Very cool. Handles lumber to 85' long and 6' diameter. One of their markets: masts for schooners.

Link sent to me by my brother, who works for the Forest Service in Chiloquin, OR. He hadn't seen it either but is planning to.

John,
We are way out of touch with our surroundings. I ride up and down the 99W also and never knew this existed. Thanks Dave.... in Texas!!
