twelve mile REB 573 Posted February 28 Share Posted February 28 Each tree section is on two cars you can tell by counting the journal boxes and then the gap between cars become more distinct. The locomotive looks to be a 1-2-1 and they could be as small as 20 feet however has no or a very small tender. 1 Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Tom Bullweed 480 Posted March 1 Share Posted March 1 Reminded me of a Colt Bisley in .32 WCF that I had years ago. The inside of the grip panel was marked " Yakima Log camp 1906". Today we move 10-30" diameter trees with big equipment. Miles, oxen, ropes and lots of strong hands got these logs from felled timber to this train. 2 Quote Link to post Share on other sites
