Photograph- Ice jam at foot of Locust Street, Columbia, near coal chutes. Written on back: "Reading Railroad shipped coal to Columbia by train then dumped it in coal chutes where it was put aboard boats and shipped to Baltimore. This is why the Reading Railroad bought the canal, later, from Pennsylvania. It was competition in the coal business."
