From what I understand, Penn Central was formed around that time. Thank you for that little tidbit of information. I will consider what you said about the use of a couple of bulkhead flats for moving the rough cut lumber down to a finishing mill.
I have made a few additions to the idea as well. The logs that get chopped down are put onto logging flatcars until they are moved over to one of four different "mobile sawmills" that do the rough cut portion of the cutting. To move the mobile sawmills, they are loaded onto a 50' flatcar and then taken out to the site with a crane.
