Image title | Once a symbol of the economic power of timber and the lumber business in early 21st-Century West Virginia, the mill building to the right -- just down the track from the Cass Scenic Railroad station in Cass -- was beset by two enormous fires, in 1978 and 1982. Now (2015) only twisted steel and rusted machinery remain above cracking cement. Trees and vines grow in a place where humans once toiled among the machines of lumber and fine wood products production. Operation of the mill and the adjacent planing mill (left) was prodigious during its heyday. They ran two 11-hour shifts, six days per week, cutting 125,000 board feet of lumber each shift -- more than 1.5 million feet of lumber per week. The Cass mill's drying kilns used 11 miles of steam pipe to dry 360,000 board feet of lumber on each run. The mill and the logging railroad, as well as the old "company town" of Cass are now a West Virginia state park. |
