Description
This photograph shows a pulley lifting up a boxcar. Several
people are gathered to watch. A wrecking crew would be called to come to the site to clean up after the accident. They would use a pulley to right the train, clean it and the tracks from debris, and get the train moving again, if possible.
Information courtesy of Stephen Cloud, 40-yr.-long railroad worker.
