Re: What Are These Folks Doing?

To me it looks like a whole cut of cars has been pulled into a work track, and cars that need attention, of whatever kind, are getting it. Railroad yards often had a "clean out" track where trash and filth from the cars was shoved out onto the ground. Doing a batch of cars at the same time is the most efficient way to do it. This looks like a similar "spot repair" activity. Tim O'Connor
The fourth car from the right is a double door Great Northern boxcar and both doors are open. For grain doors, wouldn’t one door be closed? the fifth car with is door close, appears to have a steam cleaner or a large shop vac next to it. The stack of thick boards closest to the camera suggests floor board and end board replacements.
