I got in an email
containing some amazing old back and white pictures of the logging industry
and share them below...
Just look at the length of
the hand saw they needed...
and look at the size of the
heavy duty axes...
The work required very
strong and courageous men...
After a tree was felled the
real work began - a week or more to cut it up...
Maneuvering the logs down
the mountain to the train was a complex job...
Some of the logs were
larger than the train engine...
A hollowed out log became
the company's mobile office...
Hollowed out logs were also
used to house and feed the crews...
