Kind of looks like waay too much weight on a small barge, to me. Probably leaked like a hole, too.

Not sure, here are the rest of pics I acquired of the infamous event....

Hey Southview, what's the story behind your avatar? Looks like a picture that could go well in this thread...

Good ol' Wagner fire. 1600 litres of hyd. oil spraying on the turbo!!!! The valves are under the boom and the hoses loop around below. A #20 hose developed a pin hole leak and was aimed directly at the turbo and kept supplying it with fuel to the point where nothing we had would even touch it. Had to call the local FD and have them foam it out. A bad day....

The update was a different brand of fire suppression and a new service company, a shield to seperate the engine compartment, heat wrap, 2 **** cans, 2 fire extinguishers, 1 C02 extinguisher, a water deluge system and a water source hook up that will reach anywhere in the sort....

The Hayes HDX is Sproat Lake Div. #H316

H316

Sorry you guys but H316 was always a Franklin River Division truck she never left Franklin - none of those pictures were Sproat Lake Division. H316 was taken over by Hayes Forest and cut up at their Duncan shop along with 5 Columbia Dollies (these were the 50 ton trailers with a 5th wheel on them that were used to make up the train configuration. Lots of misconseption of what was a train TWO loads behind a truck was a pup and Three loads was a train

I spend 1 hour an a half to watch all those picture on each page on that thread! It's unbelievable how big are the trees over there in BC!!! I've never goes on the Vancouver Island yet. I stop in Vancouver in Prince Rupert. So, I would like to see those big truck before die

Nice pics you got guys and thank to share the story of Logging Industries with us!

Great stuff, as always! That truck still had the 7 on the front when she arrived here, might explain why they chose "H-7". I tried to get you guys a recent picture, but H-7 was nowhere to be found. Must be in the shop for the weekend.
