Now (2015) only twisted steel and rusted machinery remain above cracking cement. Trees and vines grow in a place where humans once toiled among the machines of lumber and fine wood products production. The mill's output was prodigious during its heyday. It ran two 11-hour shifts, six days per week, cutting 125,000 board feet of lumber each shift, more than 1.5 million feet of lumber per week. The Cass mill's drying kilns used 11 miles of steam pipe to dry 360,000 board feet of lumber on each run. The mill and the logging railroad, as well as the old "company town" of Cass are now a West Virginia state park. | Credit line: West Virginia Collection within the Carol M.
