Great pics, Contract Logger! The first two were taken at Copper Canyon Division, that long log was sent to England to become a flagpole at Kew Gardens.

 

[Contract Logger]

These were emailed to me. No idea when or where.....

They arent red and white, like the thread title says. But they sure are cool!

 

[Contract Logger]

I have never been around anything M&B, but people are constantly emailing me M&B pics, so I have a few hndred of them on my computer. I am leary to post cause I dont know where they come from and probably are copyrighted or something.......

Last thing I want is to annoy somebody by posting thier pics.

You used to be able to get these pictures for free off the UBC Digital Library site, but the bookmarked link I have no longer works.

I was trying to figure out what was wrong with the 7280 thanks trackloader. You can always tell a M&B GY by the AC unit on the cab

Yeah. I obtained a very nice Leitz slide projector from the government, but it had some problems with paper frames... So, after trying to get stucked frames out for a while, in the dark, I lost the cassete on the floor spreading these 50 FIRST slides nicely out over. And since it was 11.30 in the night and I really wanted to post some pic's and then some happened to be backwards... I see both of the pics of the photos on the dispatchers wall (that was in Mission road in Port Alberni) is backwards, and the Cypress! I I'll send some slides for transfering to some professionals later, guess the results gets better then.

TorkelH: I'm glad you came over here from youTube. Sure enjoyed you and trakloaders videos. Post all the MB pictures you have. I can always look at more. I worked for MB for 8 years and they were a prince of an outfit. I will always have a place in my heart for anything coloured red or red and white because of the good times I had working for them. Too bad Weyerhaeuser came in and wrecked the good times. May they burn in a very hot place for a very long time (no offense to you Contract Logger by saying this).

A Few Red & White Things........

A nice mix of M&B stuff.

 

[trakloader]

More of the Red & White

Red & White iron continues to populate the forest, more than a decade after M&B was destroyed by Weyerhaeuser...

M&b

It will be many years before the Red & White iron is all gone. It has certainly outlasted Weyerhaeuser in BC!

And Still More.......

Here are a few more.
