| History: | Strapnac's work notes that the W. T. Carter and Brother Lumber Company at Camden bought a Shay engine from the Bering Lumber Company in 1912. The Bering line was noted as the Bering, Kiam and Southern Railroad. Keeling also notes that the Bering Kiam and Southern Railroad was the tram road for the Bering Manufacturing Company.
According to Peebles, in A Pictorial History of Polk County, Texas, Bering had a logging camp at Pine Ridge, in Polk County.
