Vintage film of pole road

[Ray Dunakin]

I saw this posted on another site, pretty interesting silent film from 1930 of a logging vehicle traveling on a pole road. Motive power appears to be either a tractor conversion or some kind of truck, mounted on wide, double-flanged wheels. (I was hoping to see a Climax or some other steam loco, but this is still cool.)

Thats a good find Ray. Ive never seen one in action.

This was interesting too:

I knew I should have been more creative in woodshop.

I'll never look at a cedar shake roof the same again.

Looking t the radiator (as bet as I can see) it looks like a Packard truck or maybe even a FWD.
