Pulpwood.  We bought it by rail for years, not anymore though.  Railroads priced the freight to the point that they killed the business.  Trucks took over.  Who knows, maybe the circle will come full circle again with these fuel costs.

Looks like pulpwood to me also. I wouldn't make fencing out of that crooked stuff, some is even quite small.

I'm thinking that the weather might have something to do with this.  Remember on the Ax Men that Oregon had the worst storm ever last winter, and there was blow down every where.  Maybe some genius figured to move that wood as firewood to the cold Northeast.  We won't be needing it for a couple months, so a slow train wouldn't make any difference.  It'll catch a purty price come November in this area.
