@@shaysteamjamb7957this is a very cool video. They didn’t mess around back then. I really enjoy old logging videos especially the real old ones with Shay locomotives. Thanks for sharing.
You will notice the large light array at the top of the boom. They used to run this grapple harder at night during the mid 80,s. There is no power pack on the rear upper deck, so they likely stopped that.
It's a pretty neat video, it's always nice to watch how these Canadian operations ran as it reminds me of how the old divisions down here in Washington State ran in the '70s. St Regis, champion, Weyerhaeuser, etc. sadly all of those are days gone by but just look at the amount of infrastructure they had and the support they had from the communities and people. We will never see that kind of industry again in our lifetime. It just makes you wonder where all the money goes from the harvest of this timber now, it sure isn't back into the pockets of the loggers or reinvesting in the companies doing the harvesting and transporting.
Yes, you are right, . Actually, the bull cars were retired a number of years before when the bridges were converted to dual purpose accommodating both trains and trucks. Moving the heavy equipment by rail interrupted the main task of getting logs to the beach.
Old now, but watching crazy stuff we did in the woods, make me, even now hear myself sweat. Love these memories thanks.
Always nice to hear from someone who has been there.
Glad you took the time to make this, it is something we will never see in real life again
We were fortunate to be at the right place at the right time. Thanks for commenting.

Handling that crane in train would make me a bit nervous...but the engineer was being appropriately cautious
Our rail has devolved into uneven, twisting, soft spotted railways in name only that could not keep that load on a car or the car on the rail.
Excelente video!!
This is awesome.
I guess its all moved by truck now, now that the railway is closed!
