Woodland Rail LLC

I see it was announced that the owners of Woodland Pulp LLC in Baileyville are going to install not one but two tissue machines over the next two years. I wonder how that will affect Lincoln Paper? It will also be interesting to see how much more fiber is needed from northern Maine and elsewhere.

I commented on the article in the BDN as follows: "All I have to say is that if I lived in Lincoln, I'd be moving to Calais or at least preparing myself to drive to work in Woodland everyday..."

Another sign of the importance of JDI operating MNR and that crucial Brownsville Connector. One long conveyor belt. Might remove any notion of fiber by rail over D1.

I was down to Woodland today for the first time in a few months. They were installing a set of scales under one of the tracks in the yard. They also have a conveyor belt system set up to unload the woodchip cars. Much more efficient then the loader they were using initially. Also Fulghum Fibers has rebuilt their facility and it looks good at least from the outside. They were unloading a long string of log cars. The mill looks very busy with lots of activity too. I'm assuming they have started work on installing the tissue machines. They are loading a few FBOX and YKR 50' boxes. Someone had mentioned on another thread about the possibility of wdpulp going to Lincoln by rail. Anyone know anything about this?
