Photo: Grain Sacks On Flat Cars
From: Bob Chaparro Date: Mon, 18 May 2020 10:19:26 PDT Photo: Grain Sacks On Flat Cars A 1909 photo from the Washington State Historical Society: The pacific northwest was late getting to bulk wheat harvest. This was bagged coming off the early combines. So they did not have the midwestern elevators, they had "flat" houses that stored the bagged grain. So while the flat cars were not normal, the bagged grain was. Howard Garner |
