You wonder how in those days the wrecking crews got anything done amongst the gawkers.

Hey wait a minute I'm from there! In the Milwaukee Days it was a pretty good railroad town!

I noticed that the crane is sitting on a stub switch.

What's that lady doing while sitting on that rail? Looks like she's got the attention of the two fellas on top and the man standing in what was a vestibule as well as some fellas standing on the left hand track. Maybe doodling in the dirt while waiting for a transfer train to arrive. Are those timbers that fellow has on his shoulder while walking toward the steam loco? He must be one tough dude!
