If Frank Davis or Chuck Whitlock are around visitors can get a demo of how a steam donkey was used to load logs onto flat cars to be taken to the Mill. My photography is hit and miss. For every five pics I take two are “good” with a bit of luck. These are two shots of the “action” in the loading area out of a bunch of failures. Hope they give you an idea of the detail that Chuck and Frank have put into this diorama.

The railtruck is powered and runs beautifully.
