In early June throughout the 1970s, the Canadian Forest Products company town of Woss Camp (now plain Woss) on northern Vancouver Island hosted a Loggers’ Sports Day, open to the public, with the drawing card for railfans being passenger train excursions using CFP’s reserve steam locomotive 113 from Woss Camp to the Woss Lake reload and back, and that is how I got hooked on logging railway photography in 1971.  Here is that ALCo 2-8-2 built in August 1920 with a caboose and passenger flatcar returning across the Nimpkish River bridge into Woss Camp on Saturday 1975-06-07, successfully caught in an ideal rods-down position.
