The rare footage of this film gives you a great opportunity to witness a fascinating operation that exists only on this DVD and in memory. 20 minutes of rare color film on DVD.

    Originally released in either 1991 or 1992, this very short Pentrex title that was originally produced by Mr. Chadwell O’Connor with Helen O’Connor & Ralph Lettelier of O’Connor Films, chronicles a variety of shays & heislers in 1951 & 1953, with a nice musical background that was combined with authentic steam sounds. There is even a handful of onboard footage from one of the logging trains as well as diesel electric trucks, & even historic steam powered donkeys & sawmills. Not to mention still images of the aftermath of accidents & incidents. Most of the logging locos seen in this program have been thankfully preserved.
