Steam donkey in the woods
Description
A large steam donkey mounted on a flatbed railcar with the trucks removed. The engine is at the back with multiple reels of cable throughout the remainder of the railcar. A man is standing by one of the larger reels toward the back and appears to be looking toward the front of the railcar. The donkey is snugged up to a stout tree that has been rigged into a spar tree and derrick. Behind the donkey is a hill littered with logs. Oregon American Lumber Co. is on the side of the railcar
