Yard A workings  Contributor's Pick!       
There are a few things here. The mostly unnoticed, but important work of a section gang is underway in the foreground, back in the day when the power tools were all armstrong power. The rolling stock here is interesting as well. The yellow car that stands out is a Burlington Refrigerated Express car, complete with a Burlington herald and "way of the Zephyrs" lettering. We also have an ACL 50 foot box, and in the factory siding at rear, a Pennsy 40 footer. Note the "Pan Am" sign above the elevated tracks at top. Who would have guessed that 50 years later, they would be a railroad.
