Work Train

June 1995: I drove downtown to check the mail after work and noticed this interesting train parked behind the Mulliken Elevator. Grabbed the camera, wasted a roll of film, went home.

Joan, who'd just joined the household a few days before, was a little curious about why it took half an hour to check the mail....

Regarding that crane: It's CSX (nee L&N) 41422, built by American Crane and Equipment (they apparently now go by ACECO). Seems to me they were using this big crane for bridge repairs, but it's a distant memory at this point.

All the buildings (silos) in this photo are now gone. The siding's still there, but overgrown and mostly unused....
