Scope and content
Logging on the Olympic Peninsula, ordered by Malcolm McGhie for Rayonier. In Washington during the late fifties, Rayonier Inc and its logging contractors would cut and haul more than 240,000,000 board feet of logs a year. Here logs are being moved from a logging truck to a railway car where they will be shipped to the company's mill over their own logging railway. A large wood frame holds a series of steel cord and grapplers that lift the logs, they then are moved by pulleys to the area over the railroad car and loaded. (Rayonier Annual Report for 1959)
