this ought to be shown on Dieselpunk sites, the Clyde four-line skidder used in Mississippi logging

J. J. Newman’s Clyde four-line skidder at work in Jefferson Davis County.

J. J. Newman had huge sawmills at Hattiesburg and Sumrall, the sawmill town built by J. J. Newman.

The Clyde skidder could gather fallen timber from as far as 1,000 feet from either side of the rail logging spur. Logs were stacked next to the spur and later loaded on log trains.
