Bridges (built works) - Measurement:
- 16x20 (inches)
- Description:
- Note signals on overhead bridge; hard to determine at different times of day due to position of sun. Again, tracks converging from under bridge to under bridge #5; ground signals as well as overhead signals used to make movement here. Debris in and around tracks. Building in center of photograph is the operational tower which controls the bridge and ground control signals This view is similar to P-11 but note the ground signal at lower right center of photograph and the signal bridge at upper center of picture. When yard engines shove or when road engines back into the station the fireman has the view of the bridge signals and ground signals.
