Thankfully there is still a lumber yard near my home, but due to the current Administration, they laid off the three paid staff and are grooming the son to run the business if there is a re-election. If that goes, I fear I will be learning how to maintain a workshop.
Ho ho. Ya, they've causing those recent solar eruptions, too.
Of course, it's the big box hardware stores that have put so many small lumber yards out of business. However, there are three large commercial lumber yards in my area, each of which have their own rail spurs. I drive in and check them out once in a while when railfanning. They're all blowing and going - those forklifts never stop moving. Interesting watching them unload the cars - they have to unload from one side and then the other, because if too much weight is taken off one side, the car can tip.
Really nice job on your yard, Gerald. Nice looking layout, too.
We still have Portsmouth Lumber Company, been around since 1914:

At one time not too long ago they still had belt-driven machines cutting the various moldings they make.
The building with their sign on the back looks a lot like the Walthers Walton Lumber building.
dont know if it is true but there is a rumor home depot is trying to move in on your layout
