This 1926 to 1928 photo shows a logging train near Anderson Lake, which is located roughly 1 mile northwest of the tracks shown in this photo. That train would gather the cars from logging sites and transport them to the incline where the cars were let down the hill one at a time. There, another engine would pick them up at the bottom and transport them to the National Mill or the Chicago, Milwaukee, St. Paul and Pacific railroad. Norman and Marie Christen Johnson lived in the logging camp from 1924 to 1930 where Norman was a timber cruiser. Hi job was to estimate the volume of timber before it was cut. To Johnson daughters, Gladys and Norma, were reared on the mountain until the family moved to Tacoma. A chicken wire fence kept the girls from wandering around the camp or getting on the railroad tracks. Two other children, Richard and Julia, were born to the Johnsons after they left the mountain. Richard followed in his father's footsteps and became a timber cruiser with the Randle District of the Gifford Pinchot National Forest.
