Authentic equipment on old logging lines. That's something any rail fan can appreciate.<br><br>But, it's the winter weather that gives us the most dramatic images imaginable. <br><br>By combining action footage from multiple photoshoots shot over several winters, we are able to recreate a "typical day" of winter railroading in the forests of the Olympic Pennisula. <br><br>The Olympic Pennisula is the reason Washington State's first major export was lumber. The climate is perfect for growing trees. But back in the day, it was a bit of a challenge to get the timber out of the woods. (See our show A Day In The Woods.) That's why logging railroads in the Pacific Northwest were everywhere.<br><br>Welcome to high-country railroading, photographed when most would rather be indoors.<br><br>West Fork Logging #91 is a three-truck Heisler. This 90-ton engine was built in 1929. As we follow the crew throughout the day, we'll see her running lite, switching cars in various locations, pulling log |
