a log train, Gippsland, Australia, 1915

 

Artistic license?  Although men often rode the rails downhill with big logs on bogies (trucks), see the photos in the book The Era of the Bush Tram in NZ, a few men like this seem rather feeble considering the size and weight of these logs in multiple; possibly there were horses pulling in front.
