Great shot of the train light plant. Note the cables with the light bulds on the folded down side gate. These would be placed on the flats cars for loading at night. The water barrel in the door way and a case of cokes resting by the front tire for the crew. The train crew, along with the porters of the sleepers got their drinking water from melted ice and avoided the typhoid outbreak that hit the big show in 1934.
thanks for sharing the photos
