I have also been going through GN wheel reports for 1968 and found 7 boxcar loads of lumber in various trains marked as going to Savanna between 4-16-1968 and 4-18-1968. There were four consignees:


BILCOLLUM – 3 cars


BONSALES – 1 car


GRESTALBR – 1 car


JEWCAMLBR – 2 cars


Interestingly GN Train 82 on 4-16-1968 had three boxcars destined for Savanna, 2 for BILCOLLUM and 1 for BONSALES. Considering the amount of cars shipped over just three days, it seems like Savanna was a busy place for lumber.


Can anyone identify any of these consignees?


Did any of these consignees have their own siding in Savanna?


If no siding, where were the cars offloaded?
