BN Marketing team doing their job! (Perhaps BN train 110 from Pasco?) Lumber at its destination. Obviously requires some special technique to load/unload stacked lumber through a boxcar door without damaging it.

Photo location: Downers Grove, Illinois, 6/19/89.

The lumber says "ESLP". Using Google:

"Engelmann Spruce/Lodgepole Pine (ESLP)"

"Engelmann Spruce and Lodgepole Pine are both members of the pine family. The trees grow at higher elevations in the western United States and throughout British Columbia. Engelmann Spruce and Lodgepole Pine are similar in appearance and share many of the same characteristics. Because of their similarities, they are often processed together and marketed as ESLP. Products manufactured from ESLP include studs, construction lumber, poles, windows, doors, appearance grade boards and interior paneling."

Can't help with the "Brand S" name stamp.
