Description

During the first part of the 20th Century, N&W tried to cultivate agricultural products and freight as possible revenue. Rail agents often advertised farmland near N&W depots to encourage such activity. Here a "farm train" stops as men gather around some stock cars with livestock. A banner reads "Better Farming Special". Location unknown.
