Description: Here logs are guided by drivers using peavies. Logs are sent to a platform at the Second Falls. That prevents pulpwood from falling into the turbines of the generating station. The 4-foot logs were floated on the Green River and eventually converted into pulp or cardboard at the Fraser Companies Limited Mill in Edmundston, N.B.
