- A slideshow of two logging lines in the Pacific Northwest that dieselized with Baldwin AS616's. Rayonier shut down in 1983, while ONW ceased hauling logs in 1979 and shut down completely in 1984.

Great video. Love old first and second generation diesels and the little short lines that used them years and years later. The wood caboose and motor car where really neat. Thanks for sharing. Stay well. 👍
Very nice photographic collection of a not well known industrial railroad. Great shots of equiptment and such beautiful country to be operating within. I would have been in awe if I had lived nearby.
Rayonier was running Steam until about 1963, then they switched out for the diesels. There is a film somewhere of the switch near Gray's Harbor.
As always very informative video. Very much enjoyed this
Their fantastic locomotives 🚂
Very nice. Enjoyed
Awesome to see late era Rayonier shots!
There is a film of the Grays harbour steam to diesel switch over in 1962 for Rayonier timber
I've never seen Baldwins in such detail (never really paid much attention in the Old Daze), but I was quite taken with the dual drop steps, which seem to be permanently in the dropped position, with chains for support, especially since I've never before seen steps mounted that high; step _up_ before you cross to the other unit! Beautiful, bright shots! Thanks and stay safe.
Did some of those Baldwin's end up at Portola? I think I remember something similar when I visited a few years ago.
Yes. Numbers 3 and 4 are at Portola. Number 1 is at the Pacific Southwest Railroad Museum in Campo, Calif. Number 2 went to a railroad historical society in Oregon and was eventually cut up for scrap.
I'd love to hear one of these running. I hope somewhere someone has audio of one. Baldwin's are just cool.
Check out my Trona Baldwins Remastered video on UA-cam.
The AS616 at SMS is ex Rayonier
Baldwins are just such neat diesels - Something about the noses being totally squared off is particularly appealing. What was the extra car at 0:53 behind the locomotive? Something for preventing forest fires?
Yes, exactly. Water tank and pump.
Some of the water tanks, old tenders. custom built and old tank cars) had an air driven pump and they wold put out a fine spray in dry conditions it would cover abut 20' each side of the tracks to prevent fires. You had to have them between March 15, the start of Fire Season and November 1, the end of fire season. They would not be used all the time, but when the humidity dropped below 30% and fuel moisture dropped to a set point that I cannot remember, you sprayed water every round. They were required by the State's Departments of Forestry because they were logging railroads.
The very first engine shown, S-12 #201, has what looks like a possible long square/rectangular tank on the walkway ahead of the battery boxes...is that a water tank for spraying the right-of-way too? Plus, the 2 orange or red wheeled things on the front walkway-- water pumps, hydraulic jacks, or something else?
@@espeescotty It is a water tank, but not for firefighting. It supplied rail washers that sprayed water as a lubricant to prevent wheel/rail wear on the line's many sharp curves. Numbers 201 and 202 were so equipped. 203 was purchased secondhand, and as far as I know never received the modification.
Thanks, neat stuff. Now, how do we get our HD cameras and drones back to those days???
No footage?
Sorry, but no.
Clallam, not Callam
Sorry, my bad. Thanks for pointing it out.
