|
| Another view of the Chicago bound train as it rumbles across the Oak street bridge. |
|
|
| All is quiet at the Waupaca boarding house as the landlord's wife prepares dinner for the tenants. Next door, a day laborer awaits his ride home after a long day. |
|
|
| If you listen carefully you might hear the water wheel turning the belts at the Fisher & Fallgatter mill. |
|
|
| The day's efforts are being loaded into a reefer at the Northwestern Produce Company warehouse along the Green Bay and Western rail line. |
|
|
| The Green Bay and Western branch is in the foreground of the Standard Oil dealership. Behind it are the Soo Line tracks, then Johnson Oil, a Shell distributor. Both of companies were served by the Soo. A Soo Line local tends to its switch list while on the elevated mainline behind the tanks. |
|
|
| A potato warehouse laborer waits for a car drop so he can finish the day's task list. |
|
|
| #474 tends to the the pick-ups and drop-offs as it drifts toward the corner of Oborn & Ware Streets. |
