Those cars look great!
I'm not sure how much work they'd put into securing the logs. Stops could be nailed or bolted right to the deck as well as be inserted into the pockets.
Here's a picture of timber baron JR Booth near the end of his life (1924) inspecting the last train of salvaged "waney" (partly squared) timber to come out of Algonquin. The stakes appear to be birch or poplar trimmed to fit; they were probably wired together across the timber at the top.
