West Coast Railroad Logging Vol 2 Promo

This promo for Volume Two, last in the set of two DVDs available from Catenary Video Productions, covers challenges which faced railroad construction, including inclines, cableways, and plowing snow. Plus parbuckling wrecks, log dumps, mills and the "end of the show". Archival footage from 10 operations on the West Coast, and a sound track that will blow your socks off.

[@NorthWoodsVideo]

Incredible historic footage of a bygone era. Thank you for your work compiling and preserving.

Ingenuity and inventiveness of US timber trade is amazing!

Invaluable footage thanks for sharing

[@Norcal8470]

This is simply marvelous to watch. I have been to so many of these places, while mills were still running and after some of these scenes faded into the past. I logged for one summer at Tenant, where Long-Bell had a RR shop and logging camp. Simply great stuff.

[@warrenhaack]

[@Dave_9547]

@@warrenhaack I don't know what is there today, but in about 1961, a private party was converting the old company houses into more modern dwellings, with actual insulation in the walls and ceilings and was going to try and sell them as second homes. At that time, the roundhouse was still there and the power was supplied by a big Buda powered generator that got turned off at 9:00PM and started back up around 6:00AM. By the way, I subscribe to and watch your Western Truck channel.

[@dbradley3]

2018 OSHA Violation Count: 583 Simpler, different times. Wonder what the people in this video would think about the USA of 2018.

[@warrenhaack]

Safety is important for certain, but over regulation is costly and not productive. I"m not sure the people in the video would be able to relate to where we are now. Certainly a lot of the equipment would not be able to be used. That is what fascinates me about that era - the way ingenuity brought forth the ability to do the things they did. The Yosemite Valley incline is an example. They had one accident in 20 years. So they were safety conscious, and careful. But it certainly would not have been approved for use today!

[@roberthertz6634]

That's the bridge over the Nanaimo River, in place and in use to 1985, when fire severely damaged the bridge and prematurely ended the logging railway that ran from the Nanaimo Lakes to Ladysmith harbour.

[@samfrancisco8095]

I gave you the 400th thumbs up.

Thank you kindly. I really enjoyed producing this, and had some incredible help from some great folks up in Oregon and Washington headed up by Jim Sabol. But let us not forget to give thanks to my former partner, Don Olsen, now deceased, who started collecting these rare films 30 years ago and had the idea originally. He lived long enough to see it finished.

[@professormetal4411]

0:36 just imagine a cable snapping and having a run away log car...

[@warrenhaack]

That thought went through my head too. Incredibly, in the time that they ran the incline, they had only one accident, and no one was hurt. See Hank Johnson's book on the Yosemite Valley Ry for more info.

[@CraigMarshall_HDvideo4K]

I suppose it is nothing but weeds and memories today?

[@warrenhaack]

Some of the locomotives have been saved and are running on tourist lines. Clover Valley Logging Mallet #4 runs on the Niles Cyn Ry in Fremont CA. But yes you can only find scars and very few remnants of the operations. There was a trestle out in the woods (West Side Bourland Bridge) but a heavy storm caused the middle bent to fall a few years ago and it fell. This is why I made these programs - didn't expect to find the huge wealth of footage, but had some serious help from Jim Sabol in Tacoma, Washington. He really went to bat to help me!

[@turboconqueringmegaeagle9006]

What are those crazy looking loco's with the vertical cylinders and bevel boxes on the axles? Awesome bit of footage thanks.

[@warrenhaack]

Those are Shay geared locomotives. They were built by the Lima locomotive works. They had a top speed of 12 mph, and could pull a train up a grade steeper than a modern highway. See Volume One of WCRL for more info (Catenary Video).

[@marthabennett4788]

What years are these clips from?

[@warrenhaack]

The footage includes clips from 1921 to 1955. The early films were taken in Black and White. The footage of the Michigan-California Cableway over the American River was from 8mm taken in 1935. It was sent back East to be cleaned 6 times and transferred to digital. The amount of silver in film before the war made the quality rival 16mm. The color footage of the Yosemite Sugarpine Incline came from the Archives of the California Railroad Museum in Sacramento. Logging Mallet #4 is still in service at Niles Canyon Ry in Fremont CA. I credit Jim Sabol in Tacoma, WA for helping locate and obtain permission for footage in that area.

That was a Willamette geared locomotive. After Shay's patents ran out, the Willamette Manufacturing Co built geared locomotives for a short time. They are most distinctive because the valve chests face out instead of to the left and right as Shay Geared locomotives do.

After watching dozens of these vids and documentaries this is the best so far. So where would this country be right now had these men not accomplished what they did, as seen here? I see no proof of any "native" or "indigenous people" ingenuity at all in any of these operations. No where. There was not an operating lumber company before these men got there, that was made by any "indigenous people". No where has any advancement been made by them then up till now in any of these machines and workings. So tell me what the "White man" stole when the "indigenous people" were there. They never used the land for a vision. Just as it is today, no accomplishments or advances. Just on land, there without a dream to build.
