Liberty street looks like a ghost town.... a very, very CLEAN ghost town! 357 Thumbsup
Nice touch on the scale house with the guy-wires for the chimney although a bit on the thick side... perhaps they are not guy-wires at all but steel rods. That big ol' chimney gives the impression that that is where everybody heads to get warm when it's howling cold outside.


That wagon is simply a delivery wagon, from Jordan Products. I haven't yet decided what's being delivered, so no lettering on the side. Goldth Liberty St. is pretty quiet, although it does dead-end at the tracks. Trucks and wagons from Creechan's and trucks from Bertram's Machine Works, across the street, make up the bulk of the traffic. Pedestrian traffic is limited to the office staff at both businesses, and the yard workers at Creechan's. (Bertram's production workers enter off Walnut St., one block south.)
Here's a view showing the dead-end, sorta:
   

And Bertram's, on the opposite side of Liberty St. - that's the Post Office side entrance, beyond the underpass:

You're right about the steel rods on that chimney - those stovepipes made from sprue often need extra support. Wink Misngth
