Loading Boxcars at Phillips Packing Company

Here's 2 photos by Arthur Rothstein in June 1937, for the federal Farm Security Administration Office of War Information. There's a whole set of photos that Mr. Rothstein took, but I'm just focusing on these two photos.


The first photo is a Phillips Packing Company truck parked next to a PRR X29 boxcar (Farm Security Administration Office of War Information fsa 80651-C).


The second photo is inside a boxcar loaded with Phillips canned goods. What's neat is you see how each individual rail car was loaded (Farm Security Administration Office of War Information fsa 80644-C).
