Description
From the west, trains pulled into the loading docks from Chicago, St. Louis and Cincinnati to drop off grain and agricultural products. Loading crews refilled the cars with manufactured goods and sent the trains back to the Midwest. The buildings surrounding the yard bustled with activity. Gray plumes of smoke rose into the sky. The air reverberated with the hum and whir of machines and the pounding of sledges
