MANGHAM & NORTHEASTERN RAILWAY. The track of the Mangham & Northeastern Railway Company was originally constructed as a private logging road. It was incorporated in 1905 with a capital stock of $50,000, of which $30,000 has been issued, and is in the hands of the stockholders of the Stewart-Greer Lumber Company. The tap line owes $12,000 to the lumber company, and the two companies have the same officers.

The tap line extends from a connection with the Iron Mountain at Mangham, La., in a northeasterly direction 6 miles to Big Creek. It has 2 locomotives, 1 box car, and 23 logging cars. The tap line lays, maintains, and operates logging spurs for the lumber company, and makes a charge on that account of 11 cents per 100 pounds for the logs hauled to the mill, which is about 1 mile from the Iron Mountain. The tap line switches the lumber from the mill to the trunk line, and receives from the latter an allowance of from 2 to 31, cents per 100 pounds out of the junction-point rate. All but 1 per cent of the traffic for the year 1910 was supplied by the lumber company. The record shows that the tap line is wholly dependent upon the -mill, and during the year 1908, when the mill was shut down, the tap line discontinued all train service.
