That's some wild in-plant trackage where a diamond sits between buildings and on an S-curve... great ideas for modeling!

Yeah, that in plant shot is fascinating, great capture of that.

How long until the plant closes?

Paper Mills don't have a strong recent history.

Nice negative attitude there. Bet you are a barrel of fun at parties.... I hope the Luke Mill is around for a long time. Since the 1st. of the year they have hired 30 new employees and in the middle of the Interview process for another group... Not say it can't close tomorrow but hope that it doesn't for years to come.
