"What rolls down stairs
alone or in pairs,
and over your neighbor's dog?
What's great for a snack,
And fits on your back?
It's log, log, log
It's log, it's log,
It's big, it's heavy, it's wood.
It's log, it's log, it's better than bad, it's good."
Everyone wants a log
You're gonna love it, log
Come on and get your log
Everyone needs a log
log log log"

- it would seem these folks were pretty targeted at what they removed, a fairly environmentally concern group - it looks rough but not like clear-cutting
Another view of 56051 'Survival' as it crosses in front of the Skirrid with 6Z51 17.24 Baglan Bay to Chirk Kronospan logs.
Went for a walk with my husband and the girls. Im just in love with all the moss on the trees and rocks. The girls do too! I was just messing abround taking photos of the log and the girls walking on it and fell in love with this one. Not sure why...just think it's neat how my husband and Haylee are out of focus and how the light is hitting them and the mossy log is in focus. It's just magical to me. It was such a wonderful weekend and we were able to spend it outside in the sun with each other which made it even better!
70815 catches a patch of winter sun as it leaves Shrewsbury on 6C37 10:29 Chirk - Carlisle empty logs working. After arriving from Chirk 70815 ran round and is seen here heading for the Crewe line.
At least as of February of 2020, California's Niles Canyon Railway was about the only place I know of where you could see a pair of compound, articulated Mallet Locomotives, both of which are fully operational.
On the left, we see Clover Valley Lumber Company #4, a Baldwin 2-6-6-2T saddle-tanker, built in 1924 for the Clover Valley Lumber Company of Loyalton, CA. She served that owner for over 30 years, before becoming a stationary boiler for a short time at the Tahoe Timber Company near Reno, Nevada. This locomotive was acquired by her present owner, the Pacific Locomotive Association (PLA) in 1973, and about 5 years later, she was in operation on the Castro Point Railway. When that line shut down, she was brought to her present home, the Niles Canyon Railway, which is operated by the PLA. She remained in storage here for many years until she was extensively rebuilt and put into service in 2012. Today, she is one of several steam locomotives which pull the tourist trains at Niles Canyon.
On the right is an even rarer locomotive. Built by the Baldwin Locomotive Works in 1909, this unusual 2-4-4-2 articulated, compound Mallet was intended for the Little River Railroad in Townsend, TN as their number 126. Unfortunately, that railroad quickly determined that she was too long for the tight curves on their line and she was returned to Baldwin. In 1910, Baldwin managed to resell her to the Columbia River Belt Line Railway in Blind Slough, OR, where she was put to work as a logging engine. That railroad typically named their locomotives rather than number them, and this engine received the name "Skookum", which is apparently a Chinook term, meaning large, powerful or impressive. She served the Columbia River Belt Line from 1910 through 1920, before being sold to the Carlisle-Pennell Lumber Company, where she acquired the number 7. After a four-year stint there, she served 4 other railroads, including the Deep River Logging Company, where her long career came to a sudden end in 1955, when she rolled over with a string of empty log bunks. Since that line was in the process of shutting down, no attempt was made to recover her and she was left in place. In 1956, she was acquired by a man named Charles Morrow, who removed her from her wreck site in pieces....and she's spent the next 60 years in pieces, owned by several individuals and moved several different places. In 2005, Skookum was acquired by Chris Baldo, who had her moved to the Oregon Coast Scenic Railroad, with the goal of restoring her, a process which took 13 years. The restoration team slowly and methodically restored her major components and re-assembled her into the condition you see here. After running briefly on the Oregon Coast Scenic, she was brought to Niles Canyon by her owner, where she runs periodically, hauling the tourist trains and an occasional photo charter. Although this is her home for the time being, she is still privately owned. It has not been publicly announce how long she'll be here, or where she might go next.

70810 catches the late afternoon sunshine at it passes Margam at a real pace working the 6M51 Baglan Bay – Chirk loaded timber.
The Carlisle-Chirk timber train - running substantially early - at Smardale, surely one of the UK's most idyllic photographic locations. 60025 does the business. 17th July 2017.
Sába loves it. Going up there means she'll get some treats for posing, and those vantage points are naturally preferred places for dogs. Well, not for enjoying the panorama better, but you know, sniffing and looking around from up there is much more interesting for a dog. She's a 7 yrs old cane corso female, by the way.
70813 rumbles through Cardiff Central with 6M51 Baglan Bay to Chirk with a couple of pigeons pottering around on the platform. A trio of Class 153 units wait in 3b to form 5F61 to Canton Sidings.
Tharp's Log is a hollowed giant sequoia tree near Crescent Meadow in Sequoia National Park. The log is named after Hale Tharp who was said to be the first Non-Native American to enter the Giant Forest. Tharp lived in the cabin each summer from 1861 until 1890 when Sequoia National Park was established.
Second Beach in the Olympic National park on the Washington coast. This log was tossed around by wave after wave and while it danced around, I tried to capture a photo of the golden light the sun was giving in the distant.
I've been trying for a long time to think of how to get a tricky focus shot of this log by the Mission Creek Greenway. This still isn't right but it is the best I've been able to come up with so far.
