unfinished draft

Photo from 1905 showing the Flagg building on the right, the siding underneath the building (still there today under the Tivoli Condominiums), and the track ramp up to the wooden granary building (the ramp also still existing).
The original proposal for granary access was via a hydraulic lift, as was done for the Stanley Flagg Company across the tracks. The granary owners objected. A ramp at a 4% grade was built instead.

Photo from 1902 looking east showing the completed cut between 19th and 18th Street. The overhang covering the ramp is seen on the left and the start of the ramp up to the granary is on the right.

The Sellers plant from the southeast in 1899.
The access bridge into the plant is on a diagonal over the Callowhill Cut.
The abandoned Asa Whitney & Sons Car Wheel Works, having gone bankrupt in 1891, is on the left. The Reading Railroad bought the Whitney property to accommodate the ramp and bridge into the Sellers plant.
The wooden granary is at back center-left.
