International papers mill located in Corinth NY, The mill was serviced daily buy the D&H . The train would stop at the Corinth Station, pull the caboose to the other end of the train and head down grade into the mill. The mill required daily shipments of raw materials, clay slurry, pulp in box cars and starch. During the 1950-60's the mill burned coal for power. It was also during this time that the bulk of the pulp wood logs were shipped in by train.

                



A typical day for the D&H crew would be 6-8 hours. Depending on the weather and switching that needed to be done. During wet or snowy
weather, 2 locomotives were used. This was for positive control on the down grade and pushing back up the hill to the siding at the base of the
high school hill.
