Looking for Eagle Articles on Pulpwood or Logging

[mopac]

I’m looking for any and all Eagle articles and/or photos about pulpwood or logging operations in East Texas. Any suggestions? Thanks.

I’ve looked through the Eagle’s that I have and haven’t come across an article on pulpwood or logging in east Texas. I know a former Mopac employee who worked in Louisiana and east Texas and can put you in contact with them. He may know or at least direct you to former employees who know.

This is a reply from Bob Currie – former Mopac engineer.

Bob said you’re asking about the Orange & Northwestern, which ran from Orange to Newton. The MP leased their track from Mauriceville to Bessmay to the Sabine River & Northern and abandoned the track from Bessmay to Newton. That was the setup When I hired out in 1972. The SRN had a paper plant in Orange and hauled pulpwood and wood chips from the Santa Fe interchange at Bessmay to Orange. We also hauled pulpwood and wood chips and interchanged them to the SRN at Mauriceville. That’s about the extent of my knowledge of any operations. The Santa Fe hauled a lot of pulpwood and woodchips to their paper mill in Evadale. If you would pass this on I would appreciate it. You can tell him to research the Orange & Northwestern RR and the Sabine River & Northern.

Dusty,

We now have an index to all issues of The Eagle. It is in PDF format and a link can be found on the mopac.org home page.
