How model towns get their names

My Railroad is based on both fictional locations and places ive visited over the years. My RR’s mainline is in the northwest, and my branch crosses the southern border.

Bill,
Just west of Susanville up in the hills is the town of Westwood. Westwood was a company town developed and owned by the Red River Lumber Company, Paul Bunyan’s own company. Tremendous amount of logging/railroading history there.

RRLC was a huge innovator in the logging industry, with Cat logging, Arches, electric cutting and loading equipment and much more.
A few pictures.
