An 8. 3 into a loader, but gives step by step headaches, most of which we could run into doing a truck repower.

Wow, thats quite the site they have there. I'm not sure if they do any logging, or if they spend all their time working on that site and fixing equipment Seriously though, if you wanna know about logging using HUGE equipment (like with a dozer that has enough power to make a Cat D10 look like a toy) check this site out.

Money fixes all things... .

Occasionally this statement is made to my customers when they ask if it can be fixed.

The men along the length of the train are presumably brakemen. It was common for logging trains to have manually set brakes on each car implying that brakemen had to move from car to car turning hand wheels to set or release the brakes for each car. This had to be done in a coordinated fashion as the trains negotiated grades often far steeper than were customary on mainline railroads. Braking errors could result in a runaway train with disastrous results.
