I was just in the basement working on the layout, and grabbed this shot as I came upstairs for lunch. Here a railroad worker guides the driver of an Oliver Farm Machinery Company truck as he backs into the team track platform at Mifflin, PA. The crates are filled with repair parts and were just unloaded from the boxcar (note the open door). Soon they will be loaded into the back of the truck for delivery to the local dealer. Era is late 1950's.
