The Factory Track

Picking up a loaded boxcar of canned vegetables from Gasconade Canning Co

Pulling cars from the factory track at Fourth Street Yard in Owensville, Missouri.  GE 70 tonner #71 will push the UP boxcar down to an awaiting boxcar that is to be pulled from Schmidt Manufacturing, a furniture maker. The furniture factory and canning plant are the main reasons the Fourth Street Yard was not abandoned after the completion of South Owensville Yard to the southeast of town.
