c.1952, One of the last of the steam locomotives to come down Front Street. Recently, our County Commissioners went out on a politically charged limb to bring our railroad back. They deserve a big thank you for demonstrating true leadership in forming the Coos Bay Rail Link. |
FOR SALE! |
EXTREMELY RARE actual Bay Front Property! Low tide with dock pilings visible. More pilings exist just below this particular tide and maybe collared to re-establish height and usefulness to reclaim the original L-dock. |
Large collection of winches not to be confused with the term "wenches" which, for a fee, were found on floating establishments near by. This picture is prior to extensive foundation rebuilding. More donkey cores adorn the property now as well as a "Skagit" brand donkey with a flathead Ford V-8. See a winch that strikes your fancy? They make excellent leashes for your rotweiller as well as impressive yard ornaments next to the other cars in your yard. Spouses just love the look of these adorned with planters... |
The last of an era (l-r): Uncle Roy Jacobson (inventor / magician), Hobart Schaer (blacksmith / dirty songs & tall tales), Uncle Ray Jacobson (owner / historian / less tall tale teller / worked at CBIW for over 70 years- truly an "iron" man) All kid vistors, from about age 5 and up, always got a shiny new real silver quarter and and offered a pinch of Copenhagen. You always took the chew as a Norwegian politeness and treid to never make a face as you chewed it and swallowed part, otherwise you would incur the wrath of "What the hell's the matter with you Junior?" |
We've been in business for over 125 years,,,NOW ITS your TURN!
