Log Flat Cars with Loader

Working in remote and challenging areas, loggers relied on heavy equipment to make their jobs safe and efficient. Log loaders that could be transported by rail or put on skids and hauled into place. By the 1940’s several operations converted existing steam equipment to diesel driven loaders when fuel supplies were available. Our multi-media kit represents such a conversion along with generic cars with loads to fit your logging operations.
