I love the line of carrier hulls in that shot on what I assume is a conveyor belt.

The conveyor belt looks like a train to me. What is also interesting is that those hulls look complete and shipped right from the factory that made them. All Ford had to do is put in the engine, rad, axle and wheels, yet they have the nerve to say they built them!!
