Christmas tree cargo

Years ago I got a Proto 2000 stock car very inexpensively. A while back I finally found what to do with it. I saw a photo of a stock car being loaded with Christmas trees.
This isn't it, I can't find that image now, but you get the idea.

There's a pulpwood loading area on the C&VRR that would otherwise close down in Winter, now in place of that empty space, there'll be piles of freshly cut trees being loaded into the stock car.

I particularly like the cover picture on Slim Gauge News, Winter 1972, where the Christmas was lashed to the roof of the caboose.

Now that's something you don't see everyday!

Thanks, Ray.
I try to make the C&V RR a mix of the typical and the 'What in heck is that?'
