This fascinating black and white film from 1897 takes you behind the scenes of the Armour & Co. meatpacking empire in Chicago. Witness the innovative private electric railway system used to transport goods within their vast yards. This silent clip, part of the Erie Railroad Series, offers a glimpse into a rarely seen aspect of late 19th-century industrial operations.
