I spent a couple evenings playing trains in the woods with the goal of showing how the logs hauled on the W&Q get to market. Before the infernal combustion engine small logging operations worked with horses and steam railways.
I show my woods logging engine hauling the empty cars up the logging line which climbs the south side of Mill Hill.
Our Loggers prefer to use a two man saw for this job though they are often seen wielding axes. A horse and teamster can haul a log with ease from the stump to the log landing.
The little logging engine is shoved down the hill by the loaded log cars. a steady brakeman is a requirement! The cars are set off the main line for the Northbound local to pick up in the evening.
