in
Leveling and grading is
nearing completion on Simpson
Timber Companys' new 105-acre
log sorting yard, said Fred
Snetgrove, logging engineer.
Six earthmovers along with
graders and caterpillar tractors
will have moved over 200,000
cubic yards of earth within the
sorting yard boundaries since
August.
The railroad spur lines are
leveled and graded within the area
with track to be laid by Simpson
crews by early next year. These
tracks will divert the logs from
Simpsons two logging camps for
sorting and bundling before they
continue to the Simpson Shelton
manufacturing plants. Large
mobile timber stackers capable of
handling loads of 120,000 pounds
will be used in the sorting and
stacking of lots brought into the
yard.
Completion of the dry land
log sorting area is scheduled for
May 1972.
