Caption: The tranquility along the shores of the La Vase River is briefly interrupted by squealing steel on this late summer afternoon. Ducking beneath CN’s Newmarket North sub, Ottawa Valley Railway F61 departs North Bay for the 85 mile run to Mattawa with 29 cars for Rayonier Advanced Materials’ mill in Temiscaming, Quebec. A week after this photo, RYAM would announce the indefinite idling of the Temiscaming mill on account of 50% tariffs imposed by the American government.

The Kipawa Mill was constructed at Temiscaming circa 1918 - 1919 by the Riordon Pulp and Paper Company, which had also acquired the nearby 1888 Lumsden Sawmill. The site would come under control of the Canadian International Paper Company (CIP) in 1925, and continue until 1972 when CIP would close the mill. It was revived in 1973 under the name Tembec, a company largely founded by the mill's former employees, which ran until being bought out by Rayonier Advanced Materials in 2017.

Further information can be found in the 1975 National Film Board documentary Temiscaming, Quebec.
