Description
Colorized photo from 1905
Original Title: Merchants' Despatch Transportation Co Machine Shop
Location: Despatch Drive, East Rochester, NY 14445
This company made refrigerated box cars, basically it looks like a normal box car, but it has chutes on the sides that are filled with ice on the roof. They had a huge facility, over 60 acres large. And they did everything themselves. They had a carpentry dept, blacksmith, and this is the machinist section.
What I mostly notice is, how disorganized this room is, and how unsafe it is. Piles of stuff everywhere, bolts, chunks of metal, there must have been a lot of tripping and injuries here. Plus what is the point of leaving huge piles that you have to load and unload all day?
This images was designed to be a panorama, its made up of two images, it was easier just showing it together than apart.
For the most part this room is lit by windows and doors, there are a few bulbs, but a few are broken or missing.
