Some of the industrial sites on Franklinsburg's low-level freight yard. From left to right can be seen Victory Paints, Rand McNally Chemicals, Reichart Furniture, and (just) Valley Canning. Team Facilities and an oil platform are on the nearest two tracks. Reichart Furniture and Rand McNally are scratchbuilt structures and feature etched brass opening window frames produced to my own art-work. Some of these buildings have now found new homes on 'Federal St.' my P87 layout. All freight cars arriving and leaving have their own waybills which give the operator his switching instructions.

A B6sb 0-6-0 switcher is seen working the low level freight yard.
The tunnels beneath the station lead to Franklinsburg's gasworks.
