The something else is called a Dolbeer Donkey. It was a steam fired engine developed here and used all over. It attached via large leather belts.

The Dolbeer donkey was used for more than just logging, it was put to it's many uses here. The device could also be attached to a typical engine and they are still made and used. Access to a river just made it's job easier, but a quarry would do too.
