This photograph is taken from a raised perspective looking toward the grain elevator and the railroad shed, probably from on top a line of freight train cars at the far right. Wood and metal debris is scattered over tracks. Roof and side damage is visible on the line of freight cars. At the far left is the destroyed power plant and sheds with only parts of some walls standing. Two vehicles which run on train rails, possibly railroad maintenance vehicles are sitting on tracks partway toward the grain elevators. A truck sits underneath a raised conveyor system crossing a number of railroad tracks. The grain elevator has no glass in most of the windows, and has sustained damage to a wall of a smaller section of the elevator nearest the ruined building. To the left of the grain elevator, a shed with three train cars inside is attached to the grain elevator. Part of a wheeled vehicle sits amid other debris in the left front corner. The number "#2" is written in the lower right hand corner. 1 photographic print : b&w ; 8 x 10 in. nol image image_photo United States - Texas - Galveston County - Texas City mod-tim 1947-04-16 1947-04-16 [Near the grain elevator after the 1947 Texas City Disaster] local-cont-no: veale-034 Texas City Disaster, 1947 Agriculture - Processing and Storage - Grain Elevators Places - United States - Texas - Galveston County - Texas City Disasters - Texas - Texas City - 1947 Industrial accidents - Texas - Texas City - 1947 Debris - Texas - Texas City - 1947 Grain elevators - Texas - Texas City - 1947 Conveying systems - Texas - Texas City - 1947 Explosions - Texas - Texas City - 1947 Business, Economics and Finance - Shipping ark: ark:/67531/metapth11880 http://texashistory.unt.edu/ark:/67531/metapth11880/
