Claus Schlund \(HGM\) #183270 Hi List Members, I believe this scene linked below shows us the track that the switch engine is standing on in the link I mentioned in my prior email... Besides the interesting industrial scene, we get a view of tank cars GATX 22909 and HMHX 6012 in 1949 https://libwww.freelibrary.org/digital/item/44466 Enjoy!

A PRR class X26 USRA ss boxcar is visible. Note the original wooden door has been replaced with a steel door by this time. Also note the switch engine hiding between the cuts of cars, a switchman is standing by to help out with whatever needs to still be done. This would make a great scene on a model railroad, don't you think? I also like the damaged brick wall - both on the prototype and on any model this would beg the question - what happened there? Did a careless forklift operator back the thing right thru the wall coming from the loading dock side? https://libwww.freelibrary.org/digital/item/41084 Use the "Pan and Zoom" tool to get closer to the action. Enjoy! Claus Schlund
