Interesting times indeed.
From my understanding, the new Fruit Growers mill predominately uses logs harvested off of its own lands, and ships most to all of their entire lumber output to their pallet manufacturing plant someplace in central California. I strongly doubt rail would be price or service competitive for any traffic from that source, either inbound logs or outbound lumber. Timber Products might be a different story....if they can be convinced to bring their veneer traffic back to rail.
