1. Vancouver Island British Columbia Canada, resident , great film what a treasure, the age of steam power!. First growth logs,a thing of the past! No sound needed come from generations of rail road Engineers and Trainmen brings back many childhood
   memory's of steam engine rides with my Grandfather and father! Such a loss to end up in a dump.
2. Drycreek Dave, In the early 1970's I worked for the USFS and we stopped in at the general store "cafe" on occasion. It was much like Galice Oregon was like in the early 1960's when I worked for the Oregon State Forest Service out of Soldier Camp Guard Station. No places like that anymore, to my knowledge.
3. My dad logged at Tenant in the early 60's - the roundhouse was being used as a repair shop and the big Buda diesel was still there to provide electricity. The houses were being repaired for retirement homes.
4. How have I not seen this sooner????
5. Ahhh man! I was born in the 80s but sure would of love living in does great days! 
6. Thanks for sharing. Great piece of history!
7. Thank you so much for sharing this glimpse into the logging world. What a great film!
8. Amazing video.. All my life I've head my mom and dad talk about living in Tennant, CA during the late 40's and early 50's. I stumbled across this film clip and showed it to my 89 year old dad today. He and many others came to Tennant from Missouri for work back in those days. He said this video shows the bunk houses and mess hall at camp 1 where the loggers would stay during the week. The other clips are from the areas they were logging out of camp 1 that was about an hour or more down the track. The workers would ride the train back home to Tennant for the weekend then back to the camp on Sunday evening for the next week of logging. I sat and watched it with him as he named every piece of equipment they were using, he also was looking intently at the video to see if he could recognize any of the workers. He said it was hard to tell from the quality of the video. He mostly skidded logs with a bulldozer to the train track to be loaded using a jammer, the large crane like machine that straddled the train and lifted the logs and stacked them. The train I guess was called a mallet but he called it malley, so I'm guessing the T is silent. My dad ended up moving from the timber to the roundhouse as a blacksmith working on steam locomotives. The roundhouse is where the trains would come into Tennant and turn around to go back to the logging camps or to Weed, CA. They had a big shop there where a lot of the equipment repairs would be done. He ended up working for International Paper at the Weed location as a welder and blacksmith until they moved back to Missouri in the 60's. Thanks so much for posting this, I have been sharing with many friends and family here in Missouri who had family members who lived and worked in Tennant back in the day. I was born in Mt. Shasta but lived in both Weed and Mt. Shasta until we moved to Missouri when I was a child.
9. Nice find. I also do railway vids. If you could, I would really appreciate it if you checked out my channel and subscribe if you like. Thanks!
10. Wow!  What an awesome find and rescue... Makes we wonder what other fine video pearls of Siskiyou History has been lost in the trash piles?  Really neat to see the old ArchBars and McGriffs in action.  Brave Tough Men, too.   Had to keep your head on a swivel and your wits about you at all times working around that stuff.  OSHA would have a meltdown if that was the logging technology of today.
11. Proud to be a Nor Cal resident :)
12. Great vid ! Thanks !
