an old wooden barn looking building
metal front door uneven floor
dented cans no real floor plan
a mishmash of miscellany
courtesy of Penn Central, Milwaukee Road
a hundred other companies boxcars
horrid clothes even the poor didn’t want
did find a pair of blue jeans once
furniture scratched and broken
300 pound dressers with chipped edges
nightmare nightstands, crooked shelving, dinette sets with 3 chairs
picnic tables with benches guaranteed to put splinters in your ass
you buy it - you haul it, no delivery jack
stereos with ripped speakers
records with scratches
rugs, drapes, even some toys but nothing I played with
railroad salvage sometimes looking more like landfill salvage
knick knacks all knocked around
oddball merchandise to be found
sposed to be damaged while shipping on the train
some looks run over by the train
this is where the poorer people shopped
or people like us that found out about this place on the sly
grandpa knew about this place
he used to work for the railroad back when a lot of men did
