Let a Logger do it (on the Little River RR).

“Let a Logger do it.”

This just did not look right:

The logging crew from Tremont agreed and told management, “Let a Logger do it.” So with axe, adze and froe they took apart the tower notched the logs and built a much more sturdy and appropriate structure for the Little River Rail Road. Here is the pride in workmanship of the intrepid loggers.

The loggers worked so quickly that they moved the extra logs from the dismantled tower to the site of a recent washout and shored it up in record time. In fact is was done before the surveying crews could record the fix on company documents of the right of way. These guys love to cut and move timber!!!

Hey Doc looks pretty neat. It appears that your crew filled in a significant portion of the ravine under the bridge. Now I’m sure the Little River RR Engineering Department made sure that didn’t create a dam that would block water flow from rain fall, correct?

Thanks Al. The tributary of the Little River did receive a few more rocks to make this all work out. You are very observant.

Now Doc, according to my email it looks like you previously made a different post in response to my question that had a picture of “lots of guys with lots of wheelbarrows”. What happened to that post & photo? That photo would sure be interesting…. [:P]
