West Coast Railroad Logging - Volume 1
Streaming Rental $4.50
Geography and time have brought enormous changes to the art of transforming raw logs into useful lumber. Producer-archivist Don Olsen spent over two decades amassing rare footage spanning 50 years that details logging by railroad on the West Coast - with a focus on equipment and techniques. His dream became a reality with the release of this Two Volume set of DVDs. Jim Sabol spearheaded a team who provided research on the subject. Filmmaker Warren Haack directed this unique program, which is presented in 16x9 wide screen format with stereo sound.
