TWOLAN due in Thunder Bay for another load; Lumber and paper shipping out via rail; No word on sand vessel

The W.N. TWOLAN and McALLISTER 132 are due in Thunder Bay tomorrow to load again for Erie. They should depart sometime this weekend and be back in Erie around a week later judging by their last load's timing. Meanwhile, the first load is already being shipped out. Monday afternoon five rail cars-four centerbeam cars for loading lumber and one boxcar for paper, were delivered by CSX local Y120 to load at the Mountfort Terminal. At least two of the cars are bound for Idaho Timber Company in Henderson, NC. These cars will be picked up by Y120 tomorrow and moved to the CSX yard at Downing Avenue, where they will leave Thursday for Buffalo, and then on to Cumberland, Maryland and finally arriving in North Carolina next week. Five centerbeam cars remain on the siding along the Bayfront Parkway.

Also yesterday an 18-car ballast train was moved into the Mountfort Terminal by CSX and loaded.

There is still no ETA for the vessel carrying the first load of sand for Presque Isle State Park.
