CSME Logging Meet 2018 July 4
Rodney, Amber and I pulled out the donkey and decided to move some logs over the 4th of July Holiday. We ran 2 different configurations. The first was a variable sky line and mainline. This let us drop the entire cabling rigging to get the shuttle down to the logs. The 2nd was a "Standing skyline with a operable carriage. This allowed us to raise and lower the hood to tying on the load.

Re: Got Logs?
Looks like fun. Your pic of the Skidder line setup and description was most educational.
My logging 2-8-2 steamer is close to getting boiler certification, and first track tests. Hopefully in August.
I look forward to providing train power to some local logging meet here.

Re: Got Logs?
John,
Looks good!
Bring that rig to MCC for the logging meet and we will have some Shays, a Climax and a Heisler to move the logging cars. Plus the logging line itself with the two switchbacks to provide some work for the locos.
