Pulpwood is used in the production of paper products. It is tree limbs cut to a specific length and comes free any tree at hand. During the paper making process, it is turned into wood pulp and used to make a wide variety of paper products. Initially, paper plants were built near forested areas for easy access to trees. As these sources were exhausted, new sources at greater distances were needed. Transport by rail was the most practical and efficient means to get the pulpwood to the mills. So this resulted in the development of pulpwood cars.
