Steam-powered Lombard Log Hauler at White Mt. Central Railroad,

For the first time in about 10 years, on March 19, 2011, the Lombard Log hauler was steamed up and running at the White Mountain Central Railroad at Clark’s Trading Post in Lincoln, NH. Reconstructed and meticulously restored from the relics of five machines, this is one of the last of its kind in running condition. Manufactured by A.O. Lombard in Waterville, ME at the turn of the twentieth century, Lombards were the precursors to modern day crawler tractors. They were built to haul long “trains“ of sleds loaded with logs from the woods to the yards.
