| Description |
|
The slip-tongue high whelled cart is a relic of early logging methods, using mules or oxen to skid logs from the forest to the railroads. The log was chained beneath the wagon so that the front end was lifted from the ground allowing it to slide more easily. The particular wagon was built in 1950 for W.T. Carter & Brothers and replaced in 1951 by tractor powered equipment.
On display at the Texas Forestry Museum 1905 Atkinson Drive in Lufkin.
