Located in northwest Washington, the crew showed up with three of their teams for this photo of their operation. Detail view 1 gives us a closer look at one of the teams of oxen, while detail view 2 shows the design of the car loaded with logs.
The tread width between the wheels appears to be larger than that on a standard rail car.
-- This photo is restored and printed by Old Oregon.
