RR Donnelly & Sons

The first industry on the Southside Spur is this giant phonebook manufacturer. The closure of this industry in the later years of the Southside Spur basically signed the death certificate for the Southside. Without the large revenue from switching high cube paper boxcars, there just wasn't enough traffic from Cox and Littrell (Bama was long gone since the 90's I think) to warrant a run down from St. Pete yard. There are no photos of this industry in action, but a few shots of the building.
