Notes
Caption on back: "A Shay locomotive brings a load of logs from Branch 34 to the mainline at Macmillan and Bloedel's Franklin River Division. This type of locomotive, at one time the most popular in the B.C. woods, is gear driven on all whels which gives it maximum pulling power for steep grades, but has the disadvantage of having a top speed of only 12 miles per hour. for the longer hauyl from camp B to camp A the faster Baldwin locomotive is used, which can handle 35 loaded cars, each ahving an average load of 6,000 FBM. Directors and guests of MacMillan and Bloedel went to Franklin River to see the Company's steam skidder and lockie operation. Company is converting to truck logging.
