Florida Gravel Co.

This is the Florida Gravel Co. facility on the Apalachicola River just west of Chattahoochee. This would be a great industry to model if I can figure out how to fit the river onto the layout somewhere!


Here's a cloesup. Apparently they're dredging gravel directly from the river bottom and shipping by rail. Both of these photos are from the 1920s.
