Kelly-Springfield truck hauling logs, circa 1925
Order an ImageLogging companies sometimes built railroads to haul logs out of the forest. Later, they used trucks. This photo was taken in the mid-1920s, somewhere in western Washington. A Kelly-Springfield logging truck hauls a large fir log along a track-like wooden logging road. Behind the truck are acres of cutover land. Wood was used for roads because it was cheap and there was plenty of it.
This photo was taken in the mid-1920s by Bellingham photographer J. Wilbur Sandison and copied a few years later by Webster & Stevens.
