Red River’s Vast Plant

A bird’s eye view of the Westwood operation.

Yesterday, I briefly mentioned how Red River Lumber Company sold a mill site at Chester to the Collins Pine Company.  What I did not include, was the Red River offered its plant at Westwood to Collins, which the latter declined. Red River was so desparate to unload its Westwood plant, but no one wanted it for various reasons. The plant itself, as one can see from the above illustration, just how large a facility it was. It did not help either that many of its facilities were showing their age. Then, of course, there was one other huge factor was the lack of timber tributary to Westwood.
