Railroad Car Loading Platform at H. J. Heinz Company Main Plant, Pittsburgh, Pennsylvania, 1905
01
Artifact Overview
The H.J. Heinz Company had its own line of railroad cars and designated tracks, which brought the trains to the loading platform alongside the main plant in Pittsburgh, Pennsylvania. This greatly reduced the time needed to load the cars as employees could bring boxes and crates right out of the factory and into the train cars. This photograph shows the loading platform at the main plant.
