Superwood Corporation in Duluth Minnesota 1989 C
The “front door” of the hardboard manufacturing process is where raw material physically enters the plant. Note the lines of pulpwood logs straddling the conveyor that takes the logs in for chipping. Look closer and you will find the three railroad tracks on this end of the factory, on either side of the larger chip pile. This facility was served by Northern Pacific and later Burlington Northern.
