I don't know how far this will go, but how about some pics of some logging action. Sure, big class 1 railroads are great, but logging railroads have a charm to them no other railroad has.

Oh man! Good idea! I like your choice for your opening picture! :lol2:

I'll see what I can come up with, if I can get my route to run faster than 5fps, that is! :lol2:

I've recently became somewhat of a Narrow-gauge Nut like the rest of them (I prefer being a pecan), so here's a contribution from me.

HAHA, it's in fact your engine Tim. So far, so good. I like that shot Dustin. Wow Rick, that's some big logs. I like it.

Man, what keeps them from tipping over when a bad spot in the track is hit? Here's a couple more.

Those are some interesting shots guys. There are a few logging companies branching off one of my routes, but as of right now their tracks just end in a stub about 20 feet away from the mainline... So I have no shots.

Logging railroads are amazing, specially if they are 2 foot gauge. :lol2:

Absolutely! Good grief, You'd have to have a special caboose with a stairway in a very tall cupola just to see over those suckers. Imagine being the brakeman on that train. :lol2: One more to top it off. I love this one. :lol2:
