Exploration, Oregon Lumber Company...

Eric Wunz and Taylor Rush went on an exploration of an Oregon Lumber Company logging line in the hills above Austin, Oregon. Apparently something had gone tragically wrong with a lumber flat as there was a large amount of debris scattered around the grade. Pictured above is a broken center bearing  from a freight car truck.

The aforementioned lumber flat upside down alongside the grade. 


The bolster and center bearing on the wrecked flatcar. Note that the center pin is till in place and there are still traces of red paint on the side sill.

This journal box was supplied by Pacific Car & Foundry of Tacoma. The other journal is a standard Union Pacific design.

Another freight car sideframe, makes a matched pair. 

No idea what this is.
