This is a work in progress.

Log Cars-Wood Skeleton (all Chehalis Western RR)
Most trucks on the wood cars date from late 1938 to early 1939 indicating that cars are from a 1939 order for Chehalis Western RR built by Pacific Car & Foundry. Cars #85 & 160 were built for Weyerhaeuser Tbr. Co. for use at Vail, WA and were later updated with steps, etc. so that they could be used on the CW. They have narrower frames than the other cars. All were donated 09-24-81.
