From Facebook:
Jim Wise - This is the Marshall, Texas yard. Back shops to the distant right, roundhouse and turntable would be immediate right just out of view in this shot
Donnie Jones - The car shop got blown up in the early '70s when a tank car was being pressure tested I believe. Our signal gang cars were just across the Louisiana main. Some of the guys were in the cars at the time but I was lucky enough to not be there. No injuries or deaths. It happened about 7 pm.
Terry Taylor - This is from east end looking west. Louisiana main to the left.
