Wendling was a small mill town for the [[Booth-Kelly Lumber Company]], but it wasn’t the only mill. A large mill was also located at [[Marcola]]
along with several other smaller operations up and down the valley. The Wendling branch served as a mainline for several small logging
railroads, which branched out on either side of the [[Mohawk River]]. Passenger trains would make two runs daily to Wendling and back until
[[1916]], when only one run was made. As cars and roads became more prevalent, all passenger service ceased by the early [[:Category:1930s|1930s]]. The line
became exclusively a freight and logging railroad.
