1910: Logs loading onto a railcar for transport to the Fraser River to be floated down to Fraser Mills (now Coquitlam). The use of logging railways allowed logging operations to move inland to cut timber further away from the water. Logging railroads were built with the railway line ending at the point to which felled timber would be brought. The logging railroad transported the logs to the water where they were floated down to the mill.   1946: Logs dumped off a railcar into Shaw Creek in the Cowichan Valley.
