Winch Section from Donkey Engine
East from Kapoor Station, along the Galloping Goose Trail on Vancouver Island, one can find the remnant of some old logging equipment. This photo shows the winch section of such equipment used at Campbell Lumber Co.'s log sort yard located at Mile 34 (MP34) along the former Canadian National Railway (CNR).
The name "donkey" comes from the fact that these engines replaced horses as a power source handling heavy loads.
