Good questions, the pulp wood was loaded cross wise to the cars. The trucks coming into the plants carried the long logs that were over the length of the trailer.
As I get more into the research with the Mopac guys I worked with I’m being told all the mills got a mix of round wood and chips. There were plants that just produced wood chips for the mills.
I’m up to a two page article for the Eagle and just started and still need input from the car management guys on the types of cars used. So hopefully this will turn out to be a good addition to a future magazine article you can look forward to.
