I saw that this morning, too.  Those must be some pretty juiced-up horses.

If it's going down hill, than it will be bether to put the horses on a sled too. That will be a "joyride"

Hi guys,
The sled runners are out side (wider) than the horse walk and they would sprinkle the sled ways with water every night so the sled runners are actually running on ice so moving those huge loads were actually pretty easy or so they said

Got any more of the track repair gang? (or ones like it?)

More track gangs I don't think so..at least not that I know off-hand...have lots of grungy dirty, tired guys in photos like this though

Nothing to do with track building...just ran across it in the files...

This is a detail/item I have yet to ever see modeled at a log pond.  This is a "bucking saw" used to cut logs to a desired or needed length (or cut off/out "bad" sections that made it out of the woods).

(This might be something for Jacq to add  .....I have a kit that could be used/adapted for the saw portion.)

  Are you hoping for me to bite    Wel I do... . There are plans to have one in the pond, the only snag was where to get the steam supply.
  I have a drwg and some photo's in the book Lumber.    With the choice of unloader ala Brookings/WSLC the steam line is coming from the main boiler house. This way the steam supply to the bucking saw is solved as it can come from the same line.
