When trees were H-U-G-E!

Just look at the length of the hand saw they needed...
...and look at the size of the heavy duty axes...

Some of the logs were larger than the train engine...
A hollowed out log became the company's mobile office...
Hollowed out logs were also used to house and feed the crews.
