Not sure about Eastman trailers, but there was a pig ramp behind the yard office in Bristol that was used to load trailers onto flatcars, my grandfather one time assisted in hauling several trailer loads of J.C. Penny boxer shorts manufactured by Harwood Manufacturing of Marion, to be loaded on the flats at Bristol and shipped to New York, Ironically the train made it to McMullen (just west of Marion) and promptly derailed, guess which cars, the trailers bursted open and flung boxer shorts all over the place. I remember seeing the colorful sight, but I barely remember much about the derailment itself, it was near Copenhaver's Crossing around 1975/76.
