“These tapes are superb! They transport the viewer right into the film without knowing it. The clarity of the sound and photography are wonderful.”
— George A. Dunn; Passaic, NJ

Ten different logging companies, from Arizona to British Columbia, Canada comprise this sweeping survey of working life in the tall timber of the West:

You'll see the Feather River Shays high on S-curved trestles, getting a run at a 5 1/2% grade with 25 degree curves, and the fireworks pin-wheel of Climaxes tackling 6% grades on the Hillcrest. Heislers dance around the log dump like daddy long legs spiders. Climb in to the cab as Rayonier Mallet #8 heads for tall timber and returns with logs of Bunyan size. Two different trips on the McLeod operation: first, a double-headed fan trip with an SP daylight consist and then - in the 10 foot drifts of February - a sparkling vignette in brilliant sunshine with Mt Shasta towering behind.
