From the back of the jacket:
It can be said that the forests are to the steam locomotive whistle what a Cathedral is to an organ. Of the many sound recordings made of the vanishing "Iron Horse", none can compare with this outstanding collection of sounds of off-the-beaten-path steam locomotives at work. These recordings were made in 1958, in California, Washington and Oregon and are representative of the many logging railroads that once dotted the vast forests of the Pacific Northwest in bygone years. This too is Railroading!
SIDE ONE:
A. RAYONIER INC. 2-6-6-2 Mallet number 120 drifts across Highway 101 near Humptulips, Wash., on a rainy afternoon.
B. WEST SIDE LUMBER CO. number 8, a narrow gauge Shay geared locomotive breaks the pre-dawn stillness of a farmyard near Tuolumne, Calif, as it heads for the woods with a string of empties.
C. CROWN-WILLAMETTE PAPER CO. 12, a 2-6-6-2 "Saddletank Mallet" echoes its whistle across a quiet valley near Cathlamet, Wash, just a few weeks before the railroad was abandoned and the little engine silenced forever. This is followed by the whistle of GEORGIA-PACIFIC CORP. 2-8-2 number 5 with its log train at Siletz, Ore.
D. PICKERING LUMBER CORP. Shay 7 doing its work at Soap Creek Pass, Calif, gives us the opportunity to hear the unusual sounds of a geared steam engine in switching service.
E. GEORGIA-PACIFIC CORP. 1, an aging Baldwin 2-8-2 struggles up grade near Siletz, Ore. with a string of skeleton log trucks in tow. At Siletz the 1-spot picks up a train of loaded log trucks heading for the mill at Toledo and we pace beside the locomotive on an adjacent highway as it climbs a heavy grade out of town.
SIDE TWO:
A. RAYONIER INC. 2-6-6-2 Mallet number 14 crests Humptulips Hill on western Washington's Olympic peninsula with a 55-car log train, followed within "spittin' distance" (thanks to radio dispatching) by 2-8-2 number 90 with another tonnage train. Listen for the blending of the two different whistles near the end of this sequence.
B. WEST SIDE LUMBER CO. of Tuolumne, Calif. takes the spotlight as being the only all steam, narrow gauge logging railroad in the West. First we hear number 3, a standard gauge Heisler geared locomotive switching the mill at Tuolumne.
Next, Shay number 10's machinegun-like exhaust blasts out of the Tuolumne River gorge and then stops while the crew makes an inspection and air brake tests before dropping down into civilization again at Tuolumne.
Finally, Shay number 8 whistles for the mile board at Camp 8 and thunders by our microphone. Up at the Camp the cook is calling the section gang to breakfast with a huge iron triangle. After a brief stop our Shay gives a "highball" and starts his train of empties heading for the tall timber at 15 miles per hour!
C. RAYONIER INC. 120's whistle artistry can be credited to engineer Clark Penniek, who handles the throttle and whistle cord with a master's touch. In the rain, the 120 is heard deep in the woods of the Grays Harbor Tree Farm as it calls for a blind crossing. This is Railroading!
