John Licht (pronounced “light”) prepares for the next bundle of lumber to be loaded on this center-beam flat car at Madisonville’s industrial park, July 2009. John’s company, Western Bluegrass Rail Terminal, gathers local materials for bulk shipment to and from the Madisonville area. This particular car of lumber, trucked from a local saw mill, is bound for Canada. CSX picked it up early last week. (Photos by Bill Thomas)
