The Snow Train (1929)

Canada. A specially designed “snow train“ tows logs through a snowy landscape. (It is more like a tractor as there seem to be no tracks for it to run on). The train runs on steam. A shot from on the train shows the load of logs moving through a forest landscape. We see the logs being taken up a conveyor belt. The logs are for a paper mill.
