Paper Mill Photos
A view of the Warehouse area of the Blue Ridge Paper Facility in Canton, NC. This facility was originally Champion Paper products. The plant is served by Norfolk Southern. They also roster an SW1500 for intraplant movements. Woodchips are brought in by rail from South Carolina (I'm sure there are other origins, as well) and travelled over the famed Saluda Grade up until the beginning of 2002.
Another view of the Blue Ridge Facility.
A view of the small yard NS uses to serve the plant. Here we can see the GP50 that Norfolk Southern painted in a Southern Railway inspired scheme. The plant trackage circles to the right behind the yard where various products are loaded/unloaded. There's a rotary dumper and a switchback to the far right that serves a plant owned power plant.
Below is a rough sketch of the Blue Ridge Paper Mill's Track Arrangement
