Scanning pics is a time-consuming hassle, no doubt about it. Thank you for taking the time, these pics are great! No doubt fron the 1970's and early 80's. Many people havent seen this before- I have but dont have many good pics of BC. Words cannot describe it.....

Contract logger. Couldn't tell you on the orange yarder. All the pictures were out of an album that was lost amongst old files and books. It pre dates my era by about 10 years but I am familiar with the company.........

What great old pics- history really. Where did you find the album? They look like factory/delivery photos. Some of these machines must still be around somwhere.

Some of the equipment and the companies are still around. It was neat to scan the pictures then zoom in and read the names of the companies. I have been in most of those camps on Vancouver Island and the north coast.

Here is another neat machine. This is up the canyon just out of Chemainus, right on the mainline. I took it about 6 years ago. look at the train wheels that have been stacked together and the edges cut off.

Great pictures even greater equipment I can't believe how big of loads they haul on those trucks. Man you lay one of those loads over on a curve you would have to go home and change your pants ! If you survived ! :( What amazes me is all the familys that were raised from jobs that were created and now mostly gone pretty darn sad .

Here you go, the driver is the biggest guy in the pictures.
