Hi,

What would you think of a short dual gauge track next to the current disconnected track with a NG box car on it?

A docent could open the NG and the SG box cars and allow people to transfer various weight and sized boxes between the SG and NG box cars. Part of the explanation would be that the in the 1880s, wages were $1-1.50 per day and 12 hour days were not uncommon. Compare it to today's 8 hour day and minimum wage to show how expensive transshipping has become and a mention to both ET&WNC and WP&Y used TOFC/COFC as alternate means of transhipping.

A hands interactive display.
