dc.description A crowd of people gather in a train yard to watch as the packaged De Havilland DH-4s built at the Dayton-Wright Airplane Company get loaded into railroad gondola cars. A crane is used to lower the large crates carrying the parts of the airplanes into the gondola cars. Among the people in the crowd are police officers in full uniform. A railroad steam engine is seen in the background attached to the cars with white steam pouring out of the smoke stack. Residential buildings, early automobiles, horse and carts, railroad cars, and other buildings are all visible in the background of the photograph. On the side of one of the loaded cars is printed New York Central and St. Louis. en_US
