The Paradise Valley railway of BS&W was move to become the Duck Lake-Haslam Lake railway in 1918. The 'One Spot', one of the Shay locomotives used at Myrtle Point, is on display at the British Columbia Forest Museum in Duncan. When Myrtle Point finished operations in 1928, the ‘One Spot’ continued its career in Menzies Bay and Great Central Lake, before almost being sold to the Philippines. Bloedel, Stewart & Welch introduced ‘high-leading’ in the woods, a method where, instead of being dragged along the ground, they are suspended in the air and do less damage both to the logs and the terrain.
