Major lines including New York Central, Erie, Baltimore and Ohio, and Santa Fe will test cheaper beech and maple timbers treated with preservatives. The program aims to secure steady supplies, cut costs, and promote large scale forestry by railroads, with multiple sites in Adirondacks, Virginia, Texas, Montana, and along key railroad corridors.
