Photo: LV Boxcar 62182 With Weed Chains Load
If you Google weed chains for grass cutting there will be an image of a hub to fit on a weed whacker like device with two lengths of chain extending from the hub. Similar to a medieval flailing weapon

Also note the curved platform/dock construction. First time I have noticed a dock with the decking lumber running lengthwise. An interesting item to model. Pat Wade Santa Barbara, CA

Hooker Chemical, Tacoma
Regarding the opposite river bank. I think that those are winter moorings for power boats. They drive in and are individually lifted out of the water for winter storage in their own garage. I am guess

Suggestions For Wire Load Ties
How about a single strand of lamp wire? I have used this for the harness and reins on an HO stagecoach.

(Not A Freight Car) Slanted Loading Dock
My first thought is that it makes it easier to roll barrels and kegs onto freight cars. It would be interesting to see if there are any sort of guides on the deck to direct the barrels to the car door
