Gold Hill | Rogue River Railroad Logging with Jerry Hellinga

Gold Hill | Rogue River Railroad Logging with Jerry Hellinga
There's no better place to understand Southern Oregon's railroad history than at the Medford Railroad Park and no one better to tell tales about railroad logging than Jerry Hellinga. In the early 1900s the railroad was the backbone of the logging industry, carrying millions of board feet from the dense forests of the Upper Rogue to the Medford mills.
