Thanks, probably right. What a labor intensive and time consuming process !

I once was on a work extra and watched the section guys unload rail off flat cars by hand on the 

Flag Center wye and I thought that was the old fashioned way.......

My guess would be rail. There's some to the right of the track. And with a locomotive coupled to the far end, it could position the car where the next rail(s) would be unloaded.

Take a look at item #201191822050 on ebay. It's a 1907 photo at Polo,IL. The station and track curvature sure look to be correct. Check out what appear to be section men standing at the end of a stock car on the main. What do you think they would be unloading from the end of the car through that small opening at the bottom ?

Looks like there are many more on the siding.
