Engine graveyard

After World War II there was a surplus of inexpensive trucks available. Steam engines were extremely high maintenance and therefore expensive to operate. Eventually trucks became the preferred means to get the logs from the forest to the mill.

The steam engines were consigned to this "graveyard" just east of the sawmill where they sat rusting for years. In the early 1970s they were cut up and sold for scrap.
