Technically its tree length logs. They used to go from Millinocket to Jackman for Moose River Lumber. After the CP takeover, CP scrapped all the log cars because they age restricted and couldn't be interchanged, despite the entire operation taking place on CMQ/CP tracks. Really they didn't want the log business, it was generating profit, but in CP's eyes it wasn't generating enough. That was really the last customer on the Millinocket Sub and with them gone, it made it easy for them to sell the line off which is what they wanted to do from day 1.
Good to see a post from you, thanks!
Is that pulp wood that they are hauling?
