Paper rolls of any kind require a "paper quality floor" or dock. You can only imagine what would happen to a roll paper if the surface that you were unloading on were to create even small holes in the paper edge or face. So I am sure the dock you are referring to was a better taken care of then most and likely swept clean before any carload was unloaded checking for any FOD material.

Subject: RE: [STMFC] NEWSPRINT Paul It sounds like from your description and Andy's that if there was a specially equipped unloading dock then paper rolls could be transloaded. But that's far from the suggestion of spotting a load of newsprint at a "team track". The paper I read in NJ as a teen (Courier-Post) had no rail service either, so it must have come from a PRR/PRSL unloading site nearby.
