Scope and content

typed annotation on verso of photograph reads: "One of two steam-powered "McGiffert Log Loaders", loading timber bound for Eagle Lake Spruce Mills Giscome. Circa 1925. this machine was used by several logging railways in western North America from about 1915 to 1950. It was designed to pull empty flat cars underneath itself from behind and position them for loading, an earlier version from California lacked its own wheels and was therefore much less versatile than the cranes used at Giscome.
