I finally dug out my images of the tipped/collapsed Universal Loader.....(in doing so I also found a box with a couple hundred more photos, that I had forgotten I had...woo-hoo!)

The comapny is Weed Lumber Co., in Northern California, and the year is 1914.
The first two images show the loader being erected in the field. Note in the first image the boiler at the right; it seems to have been coated in white lead, or asbestos for shipping.

These two images are after the collapse.
Note in the upper image that steam and dust are still hanging in the air, and the locomotive is still coupled to the log train (red arrow), this photo must have been taked almost immediately, or very shortly after the collapse. The second image shows the loader from the rear, likely a few days later.

[EDIT:  Having a Brain-fart/Senior-Moment today.......The 4 images are tagged/noted "Lidgerwood"....I should have written "CLYDE" Universal Loader.]
