| The Complete West Side 53 Mins #SRP-WSS $39.95 Glenn Beier’s Exhaustive Coverage From Tuolumne to Camp 45 This shows you the West Side Flume and Logging Co. Railroad when it really was a working railroad. You see dozens of narrow gauge trains with empty log skeletons battling better than 5% grades to the high camps and then, loaded with logs of gargantuan size, the retainers set, the hand brakes tied down, and the wheels smoking as the whole crew sweats to keep the train from getting away. The spindly trestles towering above the canyon walls, the dramatic, air-borne ballet at the reloads, with ten ton logs poised for featherlight placement, the explosive water dumps. They’re all here including the log ponds, water tanks, donkey engines, track speeders, log camps, mess halls, and, of course, your choice from an endless parade of shays and Heislers. Even the very last train ever to run on The West Side. This is a work of devotion by a motion picture professional, Glenn Beier. It is not a collection of film scraps scrounged from some cutting room floor. No talking heads. No black and white. No Super 8. This is the ultimate source for information and dramatic, color photography of The West Side. back |
