The Walthers Cornerstone Brick Freight Office is where businesses and small industries that didn't have their own sidings arranged for rail service. Many off-line shippers relied on the railroad to move their goods from trains to trucks for delivery to stores and warehouses. The freight office served as the "brains" of the operation, housing an army of clerks who kept track of paperwork and billing.
