CML Winchester mill from across the lake December 22, 1946 by Ivan Ergish. CML had two log dumps, a 'Winter dump' and a 'Summer dump.' "One was at the mill and the other was across the lake. I don't remember which dump was which or why they had the two dumps. One of the dumps shows in the background of the dump at the mill in one of the scans of camp cars."

Gibson speeder near Forest, Idaho. December 22, 1946. Ivan Ergish photo. Gibson speeders were built in Seattle "for logger's use and logger's abuse" by the Gibson Manufacturing Company. Gibson built many speeders, mostly for logging outfits, but did at least two very large ones for the Southern Pacific.
