1912 sugar beet harvest in Pandora
It is believed that this photo of Pandora was taken in 1912. The photo shows 12 large wagon loads of sugar beets. The crop was brought in to Pandora by horses. To the right is the Northern Ohio Railroad, later Akron, Canton and Youngstown Railroad.
We believe this photo looks west and that the track heads toward Columbus Grove. If that is the case, the road on the other side of the depot is today Jefferson Street, Pandora.
Several additional points in the photo, include what appear to be milk containers at the railroad depot.
On the left side appears to be a lumber yard. And further down the track appears to be a livestock loading shoot.
The freight cars identified are from Baltimore and Ohio Railroad, New York Central Railroa and Louisville and Nashville Railroad.
And, of course, who can miss the building housing coal and salt.
