Cut lumber might be subject to warping if the weather turns bad, but a suitable substitute might be a couple loads of power poles. There were two or more loads of power poles billed to Dolores on one of the last RGS train movements out of Durango, and these came in from Alamosa.

Used power poles are often readily available and could possibly be kept as permanent flatcar loads.
