willis ford	General	Wow That is so cool, I wish our yard master would let us do it like this. That is the best way to spreed brake shoes in a train yard for the carmen like me who actually change brake shoes, to have some laying next to the rail and out of the walking path.	7/26/2011 7:32:47 PM

L&N 40514
L&N 40514 at Nashville, Tennessee on August 24, 1982, photo by Chuck Zeiler. This was shot from the Melrose Avenue overpass at the north end of Radnor Yard. This car is loaded with new brake shoes. Workers stationed at the orange chutes would place the new shoes in the chute as the car moved through the yard, depositing the new shoes on the ground for car knockers to use as replacements for worn shoes on arriving and departing freight cars.
