On the Shelton waterfront A Simpson train is receiving bundles of logs from an overhead crane with a huge claw which grabs the loads out of the water and places them between the bunkers on the flat cars. In the bay two put-put tugs shunt the bundles apart from the raft and maneuver them to the crane. In the last scene our engine has moved up to the siding at the west end of town and joined up with the 1201's log train to help push it up the hill to the dry-sort yard at Dayton. Film shot Feb 15th, 2010.

Again, too bad that there wasn't narration to tell the story. It is important for people to be informed so that they understand the value and importance of logging for North America.

I hear flat spots on the loco. I'd guess the sanders don't work. Cool operation, though. I always loved running a good pair of switch engines

The line closed in 2015. Wikipedia says that it was leased to a museum in 2019 for running as a tourist line, so maybe that's still going.

When the logs are still in the water and ready for the crane to pick them up, what keeps them in a block instead of them spreading out ?

I don't think I would take that train out on that pier. Looks sketchy af. On the otherhand I always kinda wonder how logs get loaded on a train. I guess this is at least one way of doing that. Also as a canadian i'm reminded of that song the "log divers waltz". Anybody ever hear of that?

What difference would it make? If the loco topples (and locos don't topple anyway), a fence wouldn't stop it. The train is so close to the edge that nobody could walk alongside it, so a fence wouldn't protect anything.
