DescriptionTwo men are seated in the cab of an open flatbed truck. A third man wearing a suit and cap stands on the toolbox on the running board. Two additional men sit on sacks of coal that are neatly piled on the back of the truck. A sign on the side of the truck reads: "Goldberg-Castenguay Coal." The truck is parked by a building that appears to be a railroad station, probably a freight depot.
