- This view is to the west from the 18th Street bridge. The freight yard is at the right of the photograph. Note the engine on the extreme end of freight train (center of photo). The fireman has the curve on his side and only he can see in front and to the rear of the locomotive the ground personnel and other movements to his left. Cars being switched in this yard come from the left center of the picture. There are other train movements at the upper right of the picture. Firemen can and do observe passenger trains departing and entering Union Station and also their own trains for defects.
