Steam powered logging sleigh at the Rhinelander Museum

Steam powered logging sleigh at the Rhinelander Museum

      At first glance a steam powered logging sleigh looks like a train going through the woods, until you notice that there are no wheels involved.

      Preparing for these large log haulers did involve more than a simple logging trail, it had to be rather straight and level, and in out travels we often come across these old trails hidden in the forest, still in good shape except where the cross rivers, or where the trees have grown over the former well packed grades.
