| Gears in the Woods 88 Mins #SRP-3 $39.95 11 Different Steam Logging Railroads from Arizona to British Columbia: South West Forest Industries West Side Logging The Feather River Rayonier (Both Callam and Gray’s Hbr. Lines) MacMillan-Bloedel Hillcrest Lumber Osborne Bay Wharf Yreka Western The Klickitat (St. Regis) McLeod River RR The Pickering/Sugar Pine RR Every kind of steam locomotive ever conceived to haul logs: Shays, Heislers, Climaxes, Articulated Rod and rigid frame Engines. You’ll see the Feather River Shays high on S-Curved trestles, getting a run at a 5% grade with 25 degree curves and the fireworks pin-wheel of Climaxes tackling 6% grades on the Hillcrest. Heislers dance around the log dump like daddy long legs spiders. Climb into the cab as Rayonier Mallet #8 heads for tall timber and returns with logs of Bunyan size. Two versions of the McLeod operation: first, a double-headed fan trip with an SP Daylight consist and then - in the 10 foot drifts of February - a sparkling vignette in brilliant sunshine with Mt. Shasta towering behind. Color back |
