OT..cableway logging RR,over a canyon

[Daveroo]

I dont know how unique this really is,but i dont think there were very many of these in the USA,these links take you to a short read about the Pino Grande to Camino California cable way system used by the Michigan - California lumber company,one side of the canyon was standard gauge rail and the other was narrow gauge.the canyon was over 2000 feet wide...check it out...pretty cool...scroll down on both pages for some cool photos..
