Wooding Up #3

This shot captures a scene from the early days of SVRR. We see the crew wooding up the WH Eccles #3 Heisler. This photo obviously predates the wood rack next to the water tower which allows the wood to be passed across directly into the cab or onto the water tank without a man on the ground handing it up. In this shot, the guy on the ground is Jeff Chittick who volunteered up to recent years, and has passed many photos such as this one from the early days to our SVRR Archive. The guy in the cab receiving the wood is John Berns. Seen through the cab window with his back turned is the late Martin DePew who was the engineer on this day.
