The South Fork Eel River is the largest tributary of the Eel River in north-central California in the United States.

The Kai Pomo, a branch of the Pomo people, once lived in the upper portion of the watershed.Barrett, p. 279 Before industrial development in the 1800s, many native tribes relied on the river's abundant runs of salmon and steelhead.

The South Fork is designated as a National Wild and Scenic River from the confluence of Section Four Creek to the mouth.

LNWR Alfred The Great Class
The London and North Western Railway (LNWR) Alfred the Great class, after modification known as the Benbow Class was a class of 4-4-0 4-cylinder compound locomotives by F.W. Webb. A total of forty were built from 1901–1903. They were a development of the Jubilee Class, with a slightly larger boiler. Unusually for the LNWR, the locomotives were assigned a number series, this being 1941–1980. Compounds had proven unreliable, so starting in 1908 Whale started rebuilding the Jubilees into the 2 cylinder simple Renown Class. Bowen-Cooke started the same process with the Benbows in 1913, and these too were added to the Renown Class. Rebuilt engines retained their numbers. Benbow 1974 ''Howe'' was superheated in 1921; the only member of the class so treated. Number 1976 ''Lady Godiva'' was withdrawn in December 1922 without rebuilding. By the grouping of 1 January 1923, when the LNWR passed into London, Midland and Scottish Railway (LMS) ownership, 25 had been rebuilt to ...
