Description
Two employees pose for a photo showing several automobiles handled by the railroad company.
Photo caption: "Midland formerly handled a good deal of merchandise traffic, including automobiles. The tri-level auto rack had yet to be discovered, so the old reliable 40 foot boxcar handled the job. Here we see the luxury of the day being loaded, Cadillacs, appearing to be about 1938 vintage."
