ca. 1953. Logging companies brought donkey engines out to the locations where timber was being felled. View of logging operation on Mount Rainier in 1953 shows downed timber already cut into smaller sections. There are steel cables attached to the wooden spar so that the downed timber can be pulled to the landing for loading onto trucks or railroad cars for transfer to a log dump or mill. Later these spar trees would be replaced by portable steel spars. TPL-3240
