The Complete West Side Story

Steam Logging

Ride deep into mountain country to watch steam logging operations. Witness tiny but might geared engines dwarfed by the giant loads they moved.

FEATURING THE RELEASE “GEARED STEAM LOCOS”:

With their ability to negotiate less than perfect tracks and climb steep grades, geared steam locomotives were generally used where tight curves restricted the use of conventional rigid frame steam locos and engine speed was not a factor.

Shays and heislers battle impossible grades to reach the high logging camps. It’s all here: the air-borne ballet at the reloads with ten-ton logs poised for feather light placement, the explosive water dumps, the water tanks, skeleton flat cars — even the very last train to run on The West Side. This work of devotion by filmmaker Glenn Beier presents the colorful drama of working amid the tall timber of the West. 49 min.

I want to congratulate you on the fact that, as far as I am concerned, you produce the World’s only Railroad Videos. I’ve seen them all and only your really stand out. I know I’m getting every penny’s worth when I order from you. If you keep up this kind of quality, I’ll soon own every one of your tapes.
