RR Box Car is All Door

Hampton Lumber Sales Co., Portland. has a new. fleet of leased 52' All-Door boxcars.

Specially constructed for ease of loading and unloading of forest products, these cars are now arriving at Hampton's affiliated mill, the Willamina Lumber Co., Willamina, Or. to be loaded for their first trips to market.

Gordon King, v.p. and general manager of Hampton, affirmed the companies' recognition of the need to cooperate in alleviating the problems of car shortages which chronically plagued the forest products industries, at the same time making available the economics of faster loading and unloading that these new All-Door cars provide.

"Our increased production in the face of a diminishing supply of rail equipment made this a sensible alternative to help assure a continued supply of lumber products to our many Eastern customers," King stated.

David R. Benson, Hampton's traffic manager, and Ernest Christison, mill salesmanager, were quick to commend the Southern Pacific Railroad for their cooperation in obtaining appropriate governmental sanction for the leasing and ooeration of the All-Door fleet.
