George Evan Davis Collection, acc.90, APA 468

This undated photograph (my personal favorite of the ones included on this website) shows a G.E. Davis Lumber Company engine transporting lumber from the forest to the sawmill. In most rail transportation, only the bottom two rows of logs were secured, with the other logs resting on top of the secured rows. In this photographs, the only thing holding the logs in place are limbs held onto the train car by chains. It was a common occurance for the logs to fall off of the car as it traveled on the tracks. However, this appears to be a slow-moving train, as workers are standing on top of the stacks of logs.
