Logging Arch Truck

This N.O. series Mack truck was built in 1943 originally to haul US Army 155 mm artillery field guns in Italy during World War II. It is one of four purchased in 1953 by Carl Rustad to be converted for use in logging by adding an arch and winch to the rear suspension. It is a six-wheel drive and was converted to a Cummins six cylinder diesel engine in 1956. It could pull 6000-7000 board feet of logs into the bush mills from very great distances and over roads of lower quality than today's logging roads.

Tracked Log Arch

This trailer, of local manufacture, was pulled by a "cat." It basically did the same job as the logging arch truck. Its age is unknown.

Band Saw

This double cut saw was used at Eagle Lake Sawmill in the early 1930s.

Gang Saw

This vertical cut gang saw was one of the first of two units to come from Germany in 1950. It revolutionized the sawmill industry and was installed at the Upper Fraser Sawmill. It was donated by Northwood in 1991.

Steam Donkey

This steam powered donkey engine was donated by the Fraser Fort George Regional Museum.
