They were the most powerful engines at the time. I read an article about them a few weeks ago.

Install a winch/grapple and this would have made a rather large skidder.

I bet braking on that was top notch.

To bad there isn't a thread here about Skogland Logging, was a big operation at one time, would like to know more about them.

This is the only logging record I could find. May have to search University of BC for logging history records.

Not much information about Skoglung Logging, more information about the Lakelse hot springs resort, renamed Skoglund Hotsprings Resort, than Skoglund logging.

Did a bit more looking and found that the Skoglund lost his property to the BC government who took ownership and later sold it to a Kitimat businessman, Bert Orleans. There was no date associated to the BC government taking ownership or any mention of the logging operation.

I did some looking in my Royal Museum of BC archive search file and found a few files on Skoglund logging.
You can contact the RMBC archives in Victoria for more information about searching their records. Ask about when the Archivists are in so they can help you in your search.
You will have to visit them, and register, heads up parking is a nightmare around the museum 2 hr max, do a search for parking spots, Yates St has a large lot 15 minutes away.
Here are the files I found https://search-bcarchives.royalbcmuseum.bc.ca/ray-skoglund-logging-operating-engineers-local-115
