| Its unusual to see photos of cars getting loaded or unloaded, as most of us dont have access to the places where that happens. My dad worked for the N Y Times from 1957 to 1995, some of that time in the paper lab, and about 20 years in purchasing. He would often visit the plant where the Sunday Times was printed. For about 20 years, that was at a plant in Carlstadt NJ, on the ex EL New Jersey & New York-NJ Transit calls it the Pascack Valley Line. They could take 11 cars at an indoor dock. Here we see one of the clamp trucks taking a roll of newsprint-about 1800 lbs-and putting it on the conveyor to the printing floor. Note the two cars to the rear, and how the rolls of paper are stacked. These are 60 foot cars, which could handle 72 rolls of paper, if I recall. |
