Description: We see Mr. Eugène Bossé and Mr. Ronald Marchand at the trackside car shakeout using pike poles to remove chips from the car at the Fraser pulp mill in Edmundston in December 1970. The car shaker vibrated the wagon to unload the chips. Those wood chips were used to make pulp and paperboard.
