I remember wood racks on the Georgia Railroad trains. I can still smell the mixture of the fresh cut pine from the wood racks and wood chip cars and diesel fumes as the trains passed on hot summer days.

Never thought these cars would be relegated to the nostalgia board, but times and techniques do change.

Does any railroad still use the classic wood racks today?

Thanks for posting the photo.
