One of the many logging roads in Oregon was the BC&T. I have very little information except on two of their locomotives. I have only a photo of one of them.

In 1959 the Chicago Sunday Tribune had an article about trailing roads which were built between the rails. This allowed locomotives to drag logs without loading them on cars. The article included this illustration, which shows a Climax at work. If anyone has additional information, we would like to add it.
