Re: Logging road
I wonder if the rear wheels had some sort of spikes for traction?
Also, what did they do for logs for curved sections? |

Re: Logging road
Never seen that before. Didn’t they have a Holt (caterpillar)? What were the roads used for? I don’t see how it would handle heavy loads. Maybe just small gypo operations?

(chuckle) I like exploring online some of those small mining operations abandoned long ago. I see you are located 'tween Seattle/Tacoma. Went to school for a bit, before the UW... bit N of Federal Way. I still get a kick out of those old chevy ads on tv where Dick Balch jumped up onto the hood of a new Chevrolet... and smashed windshield out with a sledgehammer!  haven't seen many car ads to top that!

Re: Logging road
What's that guy doing on the passenger side. May have had a call from nature.

Re: Logging road
The picture kinda looks like it's a makeshift bridge to go over a small stream if that guy's panning for gold in the stream!!!

Re: Logging road
Typical of early railroads to take logs from the felling site to the landing area. They used what was on hand as once the logging was done in that area there was no use for it. This saved bringing in and removal of expensive iron rail systems.
It may seem primitive but they actually used steam locomotives on these type of wooden railroads to haul logs destined for the sawmill. I can't say what this road was used for but they had good taste in trucks. |

Re: Logging road
The log tracks must have gone some distance. Otherwise it wouldn't have been worth taking the tires off
