Logging railroads

Hi folks!

I am currently researching the sawmills and logging railroads that existed in Mississippi, including Jeff Davis Co., from 1880 to about 1940. I am looking for anyone who might have worked for such a company. I am also looking for anyone who might have old photos of these sawmills, log trains, log camps, and logging operations. I am especially interested in the J.J. Newman Lbr. Co., Great Southern Lbr. Co., Trexler-Rush Lbr. Co., Denkmann Lbr. Co., and Geneva Lbr. Co. Any help is GREATLY appreciated!
