The need for lumber seems to be picking up in Eureka. Must mean more construction is in the offing as winter approaches. In fact, business is so good up at the Lincoln Lumber Company sawmill at South Pass, that the firm had to add another log carrier to its inventory. It leased a Central Pacific gondola to carry more logs.
And here is the bigger picture. The original CP log flat operated by Lincoln is on the siding next to the mill while the new leased car sits on the adjacent track where the LLC’s Shay just pushed it.
The sawmill crew is going to be awfully busy in the coming days. (And they better fix the cabling on the steam log derrick pronto!)
