<<As to why it’s there on an
team track? Because a lot of freight was delivered to team tracks and
carted, wagonned, drayed, or otherwise carried away to a location not directly
served by rails. Someone (perhaps on another list) suggested that the
plant in the background (which somebody should be able to use to locate this
picture) was perhaps a brewery or something else that might use grain. I
doubt that this carload was intended to go to that location, because that industry
is certainly large enough to have had its own sidings.>>
Spotting the
damaged car on the team track might have provided better access to the
photographer asked to document the damage to the car.
