@pwalpar The one in longview at one time was the largest pulp paper mill in the world. In its hay day the facility here in town had its own switching yard a log dock that could handle two log ships, a huge sort yard for cold decking logs, the had a saw mill, a paper mill, a second papeer mill for fine paper, a salt dock, a plainer facility, a chip dock for chip barges, a chlorine facility, a second mill for production of news paper and book paper, NORPAC. And many other facilities.

@wsuraifan Some of these facilities remain in operations, while others have been shut down or like the railroad, it has been sold off. The wood in this package came from a lumber train that came from their Green Mountain Saw Mill which has been shut down. There were also many other facilities, but they escape my mind. This place was huge.

This train is returning from Weyerhaeuser's Green Mountain Mill in Toutle, Washington. Like many of the saw mills in the Pacific Northwest, the Green Mountain was shut down, hence this type of train no longer runs on this section of Weyco's line.
