Weyerhaeuser may sell four short lines, shipping line May 30, 2008 Weyerhaeuser Co., a forest products company, is considering the sale of its four short line railroads, along with its Westwood Shipping Line, which serves more than 20 ports in Japan, Korea, China and North America. The plan is part of the company's portfolio restructuring. Weyerhaeuser owns the DeQueen & Eastern, Columbia & Cowlitz, MSV, and Golden Triangle railroads. The lines are used to source mills in Arkansas, Oklahoma, Mississippi, and Washington. Weyerhaeuser has not confirmed a timetable for completing this process. I foresee a trip to southeastern Oklahoma PDQ..............
The TO&E is a part of the D&E, so whenever you hear D&E mentioned, rest assured that there is a railroad running from the Oklahoma-Arkansas state line to Valliant, OK. Still quite a few diesels (mostly GP40s and GP40-2s) lettered for TO&E. Somewhere in my HO collection I have an Atlas/Roco GP40 painted for TO&E- the blue with the red & yellow striping.
