A Roller Bearing Logging Car 



The Vestal Lumber & Manufacturing Company is using a logging 

 car on its operation near Duff, Tenn., whieh may greatly interest 

 hardwood lumber operators because of the improvements it carries. 

 This car was built for tlie Vestal company by the Sanford-Day Iron 

 Works of Knoxvillc, Tciin. It is of roller bearing type and will 

 probably convey to jiractical lunilionui'n an idea nf liuilding lienviiT 

 equipment for logging |)ur[ios('s. 



The Vestal company is hauling lumber with this car five miles 

 over a thirty-sixinch gauge railway, where at some points the 

 grade is in excess of 7 per cent. An eight-ton gasoline motor fur- 

 nishes the power. The car pictured here is only to be used for tlie 

 hauling of lumber, but the users state that by building the car 

 heavier with longer bunks, it could be used very handily for haul- 

 ing logs. The specifications of the car as made for the Vestal com- 

 pany are: 



Car has eight wheels, 18" diameter with roller bearings in tlie 

 wheels and boxings on the outside of wheels; track gauge 36", size 

 of axles 3" round; size of truck sills, lengthwise 6"x6", crosswise
