This painting shows a fictitious, but typical, Climax geared engine crossing a logging trestle. These were a popular type used for logging as they were geared down and driven on all wheels by a centre shaft. logging locomotives were not normally very big with 90 tons being a large engine, and most weighing in at 40 to 60 tons due to the track conditions. The misty scene is typical of Vancouver Island and, although the scene is imaginary, many viewers have been insistent that thay know exactly where it is!.
