Claus Schlund \(HGM\) #187027 Hi List Members, In the image below, we see this same area photographed from the other side. The hopper car RDG 79841 is featured this time. Note GODFREY COAL CO on the left this time, and we see that it is situated right next to a waterway, making me wonder in the coal company got deliveries via water and not by rail https://live.staticflickr.com/3904/15044494602_264b5fce65_o.jpg Metadata below https://www.flickr.com/photos/cityofbostonarchives/15044494602/ Enjoy!
