Jemez Mountains Railroads, Santa Fe National Forest, New Mexico

These additional figures include more views of the railroads and other aspects of logging on the Santa Fe National Forest. The hunt for historic photographs to use in this book was particularly fruitful. Private collectors have been very generous in sharing with the author and there are probably many more views in private hands and unknown to the author or the Forest Service. This created the happy problem of providing more good pictures than could be integrated with the text. Also, the costs of publication prevent us from being able to include every known photograph related to these railroad operations. In this Appendix we present some views of the people and facilities at O'Neil Landing which include much information that will be appreciated both by historians and archeologists. Those are followed by pictures of additional logging equipment and of several "speeders" used in the Jemez Mountains.

Figure 68. An American Hoist and Derrick diesel loader working at O'Neil Landing in the summer of 1939. The logs, of apparent 32-foot length, are being loaded on SFNW steel log cars. Typical portable living quarters may be seen beyond the cars. Once the local harvest was complete, these buildings could be hoisted aboard flat cars and taken to a new location. This portability is significant to archeologists who later find only a few foundation stones where once many men lived. (Photo by Yale Weinstein)

He was later a paratrooper in the Pacific theatre during World War II. Note the simple construction of the portable building. (Photo by Yale Weinstein)

Figure 77. Log trucks at O'Neil Landing circa 1939. These vehicles were used for the hauls from logging in the Rio de las Vacas watershed in the Santa Fe National Forest to O'Neil Landing, and from the Baca Location to Canyon Landing.

Figure 90. An American Hoist and Derrick loader at O'Neil Landing in the summer of 1939. The steam-to-diesel conversion is evident. The steam boiler, cylinders, and water tank were removed and replaced by a diesel engine and power take-off mounted on a slide-in frame, Will Everett is the loaderman. (Photo by Yale Weinstein)

Figure 91. T. P. Gallagher. Jr., as a young man "oiling around" the running gear of locomotive Number 103. As a youngster growing up in the lumber industry, Gallagher became familiar with the railroad and its locomotives. (Photo from the collection of T. P. Gallagher. Jr.)

Figure 92. A Bucyrus-Erie Loadmaster at work in the woods, circa 1937 - 1941. This machine combined the features of a Caterpillar tractor and a power crane in one unit capable of lifting, moving, and loading logs efficiently. The boom was capable of rotating as well as lifting, although the lack of outriggers must have severely limited its capacity while positioned to the sides. (Photo by Yale Weinstein)

Figure 93. Unloading log cars at the Bernalillo millpond circa 1941. These cars were steel AT&SF cars of Class Lg-1 with tall folding stakes. (The photo is from the Charlie Pratt family album)

Figure 94. A Caterpillar tractor skidding a very large log with a Hyster steel arch, also on tracked wheels, This view, from the C. O. Clark collection, probably dates from the 1930s.
