Caption: "All done by hand--...George Schmidt of 530 74th St., a Wall St. clerk, installs new switch work on the new engine track. ...The odd-shaped building at Schmidt's right hand is the railroad's 'feed bag' -- a coal tipple used for loading locomotive tenders with coal. At left, the round house where locomotives are stored and repaired. Tracks lead up to its door from the newly installed but still trackless turntable. Behind the roundhouse is a portion of a hillside town."
