Here is the West Side Flume and Logging Company Railroad as a real working railroad. See dozens of narrow gauge trains with empty log skeletons battling better than 5% grades up to the high camps. Then they are loaded with logs of gargantuan size. With the retainer set, the hand brakes tied down and wheels smoking the whole crew sweats to keep the train from getting away. See spindly trestles towering above the canyon walls, the dramatic, airborne ballet at the reloads, with ten ton logs poised for feather light placement, and the explosive water dumps. You’ll even catch the very last train ever to run on The West Side!
This is a work of devotion by a motion picture professional, Glenn Beier. It is not a collection of film scraps scrounged from the some cutting room floor. This is the ultimate source for information and dramatic, color photography of the West Side.
Narration. Sunday River Productions programs may feature Color film, B&W film, Music, Dubbed Sound and still photos.

Originally released in 1993, this program covers a great variety of shays in California hauling lumber through the films of Mr. Glenn Beier which includes a trip to the North Fork of the Tuolumne River that has plenty of onboard footage, as well as a couple of maps.
The engines that are shown in this program are Shay 7 now at the Roaring Camp & Big Trees, Shay 8 which is on display at Granby Colorado (note the umbrella on top of the tender), Shay 9 which is once at the Midwest Central in Mt. Pleasant Iowa now at the Georgetown Loop, shay 10 now at the Yosemite Mountain Sugar Pine with shay 15, Standard Gauge Heisler 3 which is at Roaring Camp with Shay 7 & was renumbered to 2 not to mention being converted to narrow gauge, & Shays 12 & 14 are at the Colorado Railroad Museum in Golden after operating at the Georgetown Loop.
These films were recorded in 1958, the final run in June of 1961, with bonus updates in 1968 on the West Side & Cherry Valley with shays 12 & 15 that also has a cab ride, 1969, 1981 with Shay 7 that was captured on a videocassette equipped camera, & early 1993 since the WSL was closed in 1962.
Aside from the Steam Locomotives, there are some logs being dumped at the pond, as well as being moved by trucks & donkey cranes.
Different locations are shown aside from different camps such as Niagara Bridge, Tuolumne River bridge, Fleming Spur, Straight Siding Water Tower, & Buffalo Landing.
