Abstract: By 1920, William S. Whiting's Boone Fork Lumber Company at Shulls Mills, North Carolina, was operating at full capacity. A large bandsaw mill complex was served by two spur logging rail lines reaching extensive timber holdings. Lumber products were shipped via the narrow gauge mainline Linville River Railway to Elizabethton, Tennessee and to regional markets on standard gauge mainline systems from there.
