- Description:
- Notice curvature of tracks leading into Union Station. Signals on overhead bridge (#10). Very hard to distinguish in morning due to sun shining on them. Also no vision around building, also tracks merging together beyond N Bridge #10. Again debris around and between tracks. Weed in upper left of photo. Also note conditions of stub tracks in center of photo. This view to the northwest from the 18th Street Bridge shows curvature and converging of tracks, bridge signals, and stub tracks at center of photograph. The view of the signal bridge is obstructed by the building. Notice also rubbish and trash in and on the tracks.
