A Few Pictures from the Lynden Transport Scrapbook

Cool weather

Lynden Transport has always considered proper winterization of equipment to be extremely important.  Our fleet of heated vans may be the largest in North America.

 

Trailers on rail

Unlike many intermodal transportation companies, whose business is pickup and delivery of freight for the rail and steamship lines, Lynden Transport has always pioneered it's own methods and means. As shown in this 1960 photo, and still today, we regularly use rail and water transporters as a link to move our equipment and freight between operating areas when that provides the best service  for our customer.

Yukon hovercraft ferry

New bridge across the Yukon River

Crossing the Yukon River was once quite an adventure.  The ferry, in the photo on the left, was made from a barge which had been converted into a hovercraft. It floated on a cushion of air as cables pulled it across the river.  The ferry was no longer needed when the bridge, pictured on the right, was completed in 1975.

 

Loading cows . . .

. . . on the plane

Our dedication to 'Full Service' often puts us in the role of 3rd party logistics manager, which means there are occasions when our friends need us to airlift cows.
