Part 2

(100,000 POUNDS CAPACITY)

To meet the demand for Trucks of heavier capacity, we are building All-Steel Trucks, which are fully illustrated in the cuts. This design is the result of a careful study of the prevailing practice in the large and up-to-date camps of the Northwest, with the aim of combining simplicity and strength with a minimum dead load. This Truck has been altered slightly to include all the latest improvements in logging truck construction, and was awarded the Grand Prize at the A. Y. P. Exposition.

Wheels, 33-inch Chilled Cast Iron, fitted on M. C. B. Standard Axles with 9 × 5-inch Journals. Automatic Couplers and Twin-Spring Draft Gear with M. C. B. Double-Coil Draft Spring. If desired, Link and Pin Drawbars can be substituted, as our pattern is interchangeable with Automatic Coupler. Journal Boxes are M. C. B. Standard. Bolster Steel Channels reinforced with Steel Cover Plates top and bottom. Draft Sills Steel Channels with Malleable Iron Draft Lugs riveted to same. Bolster and Draft Sills are securely tied together and braced with Steel Plates. Truck Frame of extra heavy Iron Bars, braced at corners with Gusset Plates, making it impossible for the frame to get out of square. Bunks, Hercules Patent with Knight Patent Chock. Bunks are equipped with metal brace as shown in illustration. Castings are of either Steel or Malleable Iron. Brake Shoes are applied to all Wheels and Brake Beams, either inside or outside hung, at purchaser's option. Brake Shaft can be furnished to operate with lever at end or wheel at side. Weight of 100,000-pound capacity Truck, 22,000 pounds. Weight of 80,000-pound capacity Truck, 20,000 pounds. Height to center of Coupler, 2 feet, 6 in., or 2 feet, 9 in. Length over Draft Sills, 9 ft. Length over all, 12 ft.

=With Steel Bolster and Double I-Beam Hercules Bunk=

"Snohomish" Logging Truck

This illustrates our 80,000-pound capacity Snohomish Truck, with all Metal Frame and Bolster, but with Fir Draft Timbers. This truck is designed to couple with standard equipment, with a height of 2 feet, 10 inches to center of coupler and 4 feet, 0 inches to top of bunk. The Bolster is built up of two heavy Steel Channels reinforced with steel cover plates top and bottom securely riveted to channels. The Truck is equipped with Hercules Bunk and Knight Chock and is also fitted with Metal Bunk Brace.

The same general remarks apply to this truck as to Snohomish Truck No. 123. The frame is of heavy iron bars and the fir draft timbers have a sectional area of 144 square inches, which offers great resistance to buffing shocks.

Weight per set trucks, of 20,400 pounds.

=Without Chock Blocks=

"Snohomish" Logging Truck

This truck is especially adapted to use on Logging Railroads, where an uneven track demands a flexible running gear and an extremely strong frame. These requirements are carried out in this design by placing the springs over the Journal Boxes and making the frame of extra heavy Iron Bars. The simplicity of the design also appeals to the operators, making it necessary to carry but few extra parts for repairs.

Bunk shown is made of straight grain Red Fir, reinforced with special heavy 12-inch I-Beam closely fitted on timber, but we recommend our Hercules Patent Bunk equipped with Knight Patent Chock, McLafferty Stake or Skookum Chock.

Either Automatic Couplers or Link and Pin Drawbars may be used, as our Link and Pin Drawbar is designed to be interchangeable with Automatic Coupler, the change being easily made at any time. Bolsters extra heavy Red Fir, strongly trussed. Draft Timbers, Red Fir. Draft Gear M. C. B. Standard with M. C. B. double coil Draft Springs. Truck springs, 70,000 lbs. capacity, heavy double coil.

Wheels 33-inch Chilled Cast Iron fitted on M. C. B. Axles with 4½ × 8 inch Journals. Cast Iron Journal Boxes with self-closing lids. Cast Iron Columns of heavy pattern. Brake Shoes applied to all wheels with hand wheel at side. Any style of Brake Shaft can be furnished.

When required the Truck is decked over between wheels and draft timbers and extending from end to end.

Length over all, 12 feet. Weight approximately, 18,000 pounds per set.

"Columbia" Logging Truck

THE NEW COLUMBIA, CAPACITY 80,000 PER SET

This Wood Frame Truck has been improved by the substitution of Cast Steel Pedestals in place of Cast Iron, and has eliminated the possibility of failure in this part, which has heretofore been the weak spot in this type of Logging Truck.

Automatic Couplers and Standard Draft Springs have also been applied, and this together with the Cast Steel Bunk places this truck easily in the lead of all wood frame trucks.

28-inch Chilled Cast Iron wheels are used to keep a low center of gravity which is quite essential.

Steel Axles with 4½ × 8 Journals.

Brake Shoes applied to all wheels with hand wheels at side or hand lever at end.

Any type of Bunk and Chock made by us may be used on this truck.

[Sidenote: _CODE "Rainier" Number 201_]

="Rainier" Logging Truck=

=Capacity 100,000 Pounds=

"Rainier" Logging Truck

We are the first builders of Logging Equipment to depart from the practice of the last twenty years and produce a Logging Truck designed along practical and economic lines. Modern railroading has developed the "Cast Steel" Engine Frame, Tender Frame and Passenger Truck Frame. Wherever safety is required together with lightness and durability, Cast Steel has been introduced.

Following this modern plan we have constructed the "Rainier" All Cast Steel Truck of eight pieces where ordinarily several hundred are used.

Each Side Frame is in one piece taking the place of Top Arch Bar, Inverted Arch Bar, Tie Bar, Heel Brace, Truck Columns, and the many Bolts used to hold these parts together.

Each End Frame is in one piece taking the place of Top End Bar, Bottom End Bar, Striking Plate, Carry Iron, Corner Gussets, Brake Staff Brackets, and the numerous Bolts necessary to tie these parts together.

The Draft Beams are each in one piece, taking the place of Draft Timber, Draft Lugs, and the Bolts required to anchor them.

The use of Cast Steel permits of the most economic distribution of the metal, and the "Rainier" Truck is an example of what can be accomplished.

The Bolster and Bunk are similar to those used in the Hercules Trucks.

Springs are located under the Bolster to absorb shocks which would otherwise be transferred directly to the Truck Frame. The Springs over the Journal Boxes provide additional protection from shocks and also permit the wheels to hold the rails on an uneven track or at low joints.

Brake Beams are hung between the wheels and kept high enough to protect them in case of derailment.

The equipment includes Automatic Couplers to Couple with Standard Equipment, 33 inches above rail, and 33 inch Chilled Cast Iron Wheels fitted on Steel Axles with 5 × 9 inch Journals.

Journal Boxes are Malleable Iron. No Cast Iron is used with the exception of Brake Shoes.

The Center Bearing of the Bunk and Bolster is so constructed that the Bunk cannot turn over under load when train is started or stopped suddenly, as the Bunk cannot be removed from the Truck until it is turned parallel to the Draft Beams. The "Rainier" Truck stands for safety first.

=All-Steel Improved "Rainier" Truck=

=Capacity 100,000 lbs.=

All-Steel, Improved, "Rainier" Truck

This truck is similar to the one shown on the preceding page. It differs only in having the side frames cast in one piece, thus reducing the number of parts and increasing the strength of the truck, a practice originated by us, on logging trucks and which is being widely adapted by leading railroads on standard equipment.

This truck is designed for extreme conditions where the timber is very large and is taken out in long lengths and where load at times will total from 40 to 60 tons.

From the fact that Cast Steel is substituted for structural design the expense of repair parts is practically eliminated while the factor of safety is sufficient to meet all demands unless cars meet with a wreck.

Attention is called to the method of holding the bunk in place by means of a bunk bracket which clamps in position on the half turn. The bunk is prevented from slipping out of position by Bunk Stops which can be seen on the side frames.

This truck is designed for extreme strength and rigidity. It is certain to become one of our most popular types. Both structurally and in appearance it is a high-grade product.

=Quadruple Bunk Skeleton Logging Car=

=Capacity 80,000 lbs.=

"Red River" Type Skeleton Logging Car

Quadruple Bunks

80,000 CAPACITY. 40 FEET LONG. WEIGHT COMPLETELY EQUIPPED 12 TONS.

The efficiency of this car is a simple mathematical problem. Compare this 4-Bunk Car with a Flat Car with four bunks of the same capacity and note the saving. The percentage of dead weight to log capacity is 30% as compared to 36¼% for the flat car or a car cost per thousand feet logs of $78.50 as compared to $93.50 for flat car. This means a saving of 20% on the haul back of empty cars and nearly 20% in first cost.

Where a large percentage of logs from 12 to 20 feet are handled, this Quadruple Bunk car has a great advantage over any other type. The construction is such that the entire load can be carried safely on the two center Bunks. Logs in length from 12 to 41 feet can be carried with equal facility.

Details are as follows:

Westinghouse Air Brake, Automatic Couplers, Tandem Spring Draft Rig, Two Main Sills 10 × 10 in., forty feet.

The Bunks are arranged to dump the load on either side.

Two Side Sills 10 × 10 in. extending from Bolster to Bolster. Each Side Sill is trussed with two 1½ in. rods. Two intermediate bunks are located directly over cross ties. Bunks are 10 feet long equipped with Knight chocks.

Bolsters are built up of Structural and Cast Steel of ample capacity to carry load.

Trucks are Standard Arch Bar type with 4½ × 8 in. Journals. 33 inch chilled tread double-plate, Griffin wheels. Structural Steel Bolsters and spring plank. All metal Brake Beams inside hung.

This car is equipped with all necessary steps and handles and meets the requirements of the Inter-State Commerce Commission and the U. S. safety appliance laws.

=Quadruple Bunk Skeleton Logging Car=

=Capacity 80,000 lbs.=

"Craig Mountain" Type Skeleton Logging Car

Quadruple Bunks

80,000 CAPACITY. 40 FEET LONG. WEIGHT FULLY EQUIPPED 12¼ TONS.

This car is similar in construction to the Red River Car shown on preceding page and differs only in two important details, the first point of difference being the Bunks. These Bunks are built up of Structural Steel and are equipped with trip stakes. The stakes are released or tripped from the safety side of car. The other difference is that there is a 10 × 10 in. center sill between the two main sills which extends from draft rig to draft rig.

Where short length logs are handled four bunks must be provided in order to permit of thirty and forty ton loads. This car meets these conditions perfectly. Small cars of twenty and twenty-five ton capacity are not heavy enough for economical and careful handling in heavy trains.

The same efficiency applies in the handling of logs as compared with standard flat cars as the percentage shown on opposite page.

For details see the description of the "Red River" car on the opposite page.

=Cast Steel "Rainier" Bunk=

=With Non-Buckling Compression Bars=

"Rainier" Bunk

This is a Cast Steel Bunk equipped with Cast Steel Chocks held in upright position by means of a lock together with a locking bar extending to the opposite end of Bunk. This bar, instead of being in direct compression as is the case of other Bunks of this type, has the compression stress reduced two thirds by means of the lock. The chock when once tripped can not rebound into position and lock which is a frequent occurrence in certain Bunks now on the market.

=This bunk is absolutely Fool-Proof.=

* * * * *

The reduction of the strain on the compression rods completely eliminates all possibility of buckling or binding, while the positive locking device does away completely with all danger of bad spills from falling logs.

The "Rainier" Bunk is made of high grade Cast Steel and is a picture of massive strength. It is as positive in its operation and as simply perfect in its mechanical construction as the automatic coupler. It facilitates and expedites the handling of logs, assuring a saving of at least ten cents a thousand and eliminates all possibility of danger to the operator.

[Sidenote: _CODE "Knight" Number 102_]

BUNKS

Hercules Patent Double Eye Beam Logging Bunk and Knight Patent Chock

Can be applied to any type of Logging Truck or Flat Car. Indestructible in service. No repairs. Weight approximately 1300 lbs.

The Chock Block attachment is simple in construction, easily adjusted and quick and positive in operation.

When Chock Blocks are in position against logs and grab hook applied, the load is secure.

To unload, the grab hook is removed and the movement of the log slides chock block over end of bunk as illustrated in figure. The chock block on opposite end is readily adjusted to the position desired.

The men are never required to get on the unloading side of car. In flat car service the cost of all wooden stakes and blocks is eliminated, a saving alone in one year more than the cost of the Hercules Bunks.

Flat Cars can be unloaded in a fraction of the time, with absolutely no danger to employees, and the strain on car body reduced to a minimum, thereby increasing the life of the car.

When applied to flat cars a steel channel is substituted for the I-beam.

It is especially adapted for use on our Connected Trucks, and patents have been granted covering its application to this class of car.

This invention is thoroughly protected by patents in the United States and Canada and is manufactured exclusively by

Cast Steel Bolster and Bunk

FOR HERCULES 80,000 POUNDS CAPACITY LOGGING TRUCK

The illustration shows the Cast Steel Bolster and Bunk, with which we equip our 80,000 pounds capacity Hercules Trucks, making practically an all steel truck, and when an all steel truck is required this is accomplished by the application of Steel Draft Sills. This Bolster and Bunk is designed with a great factor of safety and there is no record of a failure of this equipment in service. The Bunks or Bolster will not deflect, which means that there is always clearance between the side bearings which greatly reduces the danger of derailment on a curve.

This Bunk can be furnished in either 9 or 10 foot length. The weight of this Bolster with 9 foot Bunk is 1250 pounds, and with 10 foot Bunk is 1300 pounds.

=Our 1914 Bunk=

=For 80,000 Pounds Capacity Trucks=

Skookum Bunk

With Our Original Non-Collapsible Frame

(PATENTED)

This Bunk provides the desirable combination of a Cast Steel Body with a disappearing Chock secured by a _Tension_ Locking Bar. Practical experiment and engineering skill have developed this Bunk to provide "Safety First" in handling the minimum load as prescribed by the railways. Where an adjustable Chock is not required the "Skookum" will prove its superiority on account of its Cast Steel Body, which is similar to our well known Hercules Cast Steel Bunk. It has also the upward projecting flanges to prevent the shifting of the load, and the hollow channel for the protection of the locking mechanism. This type has been copied by designers of all modern Bunks since our first model was introduced five years ago, and this fact is evidence of the merit of the design.

The offset foot of the upright leg of the Chock resting upon the sloping floor of the Bunk makes it easily held in position but impossible to prevent its disappearing when released. Unlocking the Chock is simple and easy and there are no sliding surfaces to wear away. The locking bar is held by a center crank and locks on the dead center. The recess in the heel of the Chock engages the T-head of the locking bar and makes a positive lock. The Chock locks automatically when brought to position. The locking bar is provided with a take-up to provide a means of overcoming trouble incident to wear or stretch of the parts, and always maintain a perfect adjustment.
