I'm looking for an example of a Russel skeleton log car. Do any of you know if (where) one of these still exists? Thanks. |

I can't be positive but I believe there are three or four Russel log cars at the Cradle of Forestry near Brevard, NC. http://allboyhomeschool.blogspot.com/20 ... estry.html https://www.bing.com/images/search?view ... ay&first=1 |

One link led to another, and the Pennsylvania Lumber Museum appears to have a pretty complete shay that they store indoors but move outside for events. It does not appear that they steam the shay. How do they move it? http://lumbermuseum.org/ |

Just to point out what should be obvious already: You'll get more results by spelling it properly as "Russell" when you search. |

DJSullivan's spelling of Russel is correct however, an incorrect spelling may produce more results. Only saying this because I have a Russel Wheel and Foundry mine car and I tried to find more info. From https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Russel_Wheel_and_Foundry_Company |

My bad: I assumed the cars had been assembled by the Russell Car & Snow Plow Company of Ridgway, Pa.--which seems to be a somewhat understandable presumption...... |

And.....we all know the fatal word in assume, right, Sandy? And by the way, there is no "e" in Ridgway, Pa. |

The White Mountain Central (Lincoln, NH) has quite a string of operable standard guage logging disconnects. I bekieve most (or all) are off the East Branch & Lincoln. Are they Russels? Not sure. Worth a look. Rob |

There is a single Russel Model 55 disconnected log truck at Snoqualmie, WA. http://4wheelrailroader.tripod.com/id11.html There are a pair of these under a camp car at the Polson Museum in Hoquiam, WA. Log cars of any type are much rarer than locomotives. |

Had not noticed this modification on any equipment prior to these photos. Anyone care to comment? Perhaps in a separate thread? Les |
