Rather nice image.
Note the ‘garbage trough’ in lower center. At this spot many guys changed their cars’ oil between trains. It eventually got filled in.
Every time I see photos like this, I am thinking “those were the days my friend; we thought they’d never end.”

Thanks for the reminder….a couple of guys made use of the ‘garbage trough’ open culvert! Oh yes, Bayview Jct was the place to visit for the network news!
