It was the last Climax logging steam locomotive in working service when these movies were made in 1968. It was an easygoing rainy August day on Vancouver Island as the train crew went about their duties switching flatcars and log cars.
Hillcrest Lumber Company was a part of the forest scene on Vancouver Island for more than a half century.
