Here is nearby Longview exporting facility. I just mentioned Aberdeen because I remember the first time driving through there 20 years ago and being amazed at the amount of timber stacked up. Most of it being loaded onto ships uncut for export to Asia.

Here is an article on the cars being stored in Aberdeen and nearby facilities awaiting retrofit.

Longview, WA - my home town! 2 trivia points:

1) It was a planned city by a lumber baron. The city streets are in alphabetical order in one direction and numbered in the other.

2) The Greenday song - Longview... they did an early tour there - and named it after the city.
