Elevated View of Railroad Depot
| Elevated view of the railroad depot taken from the wooden shake roof of a building. On the right are railroad tracks, depot buildings, grain storage and a train sitting on the tracks. Several groups of people wait for the train to pickup their horse-drawn wagon loads of potatoes. On the left commercial buildings, residential homes and a church. A sign for Bull Durham tobacco hangs above the door to what appears to be a wagon repair business. In the background are wooded hills. |
