Visitor Comments about this Photo:Put together from pieces of four (4) different Lombard log haulers, this 20 ton steam halftrack is the true predecessor of all track-laying vehicles, incorporating a differential gear, recirculating roller chains, flexible track base and rear sprocket drive. One of these exact models operated out of Silsby's mill, located at Lyford's Siding right where the Thornton/Campton I-93 interchange is, logging out of Ellsworth. All the Lombards coming out of Waterville, NH were 15ton gasoline models since the Weeks Act would not allow steam in the National Forest.
