Springfield West Shops-a different perspective

This air photo which was taken August 3, 1938 gives us a nice look at the West Shops. Use one of the web mapping sites, e.g., google earth for a comparison with today's configuration.

The stock yards, Broad Street Jct, and the West Belt can be seen on the right. The High Line passes to the north of the shops, and a tie and creosote plant can be seen in the upper left.
