World's Largest Potato Yard Found in Chicago
The Wood Street yard of the Chicago and Northwestern railroad handles about 20,000 carloads of potatoes annually with thousands of tons of other vegetables passing through. It serves as the central market for potatoes from nearly every state, where dealers and brokers gather before dawn to trade about 36,000 bushels daily. The yard marks a shift from the old wooden terminal.
