Summary
A view of Brunswick's West End and the freight yard in the late-1950s. Note the eastbound freight train getting ready to roll with the eastbound hump yard in the distance. The empty box cars on the right were likely destined for repair in the car yard. The cattle holding pen is also visible on the far right.
The image also shows the Fruit Growers Express Office next to the platform for icing refrigerator cars and the classification yard to the rear.
