Notice the HC Frick coke box cars in this photo! Love or hate him HC Frick was a ruthless business man who got away with over 2000 counts of murder.

I forgot to mention that clicking the photo makes it very large and the cars are just about in the middle of the photo.

Note also the, `Pre-Hullett,’ clamshell and scoop unloaders, and that the ships in the photo are only a fraction of the size of their present-day counterparts.

The photo includes a small portion of the port complex, and the part depicted wouldn’t fit along the longest wall of my layout in any scale larger than N.

And now you know why I don’t recommend trying to model ships and port facilities…
