- Description:
- Closeness of trains in center of photo under overhead bridge #6. Again, tracks coming together at this point. Fireman on Diesel (partly showing) has excellent view of separating passenger train, and can notice any irregularities of same. Man walking dangerously close to outside rail on curve. Debris between tracks. Passenger train GM&O No. 100, Unit: E7A locomotive. This view is similar to P-23 and P-24 but shows the further movement of the trains. Note how the fireman on the yard engine can see the movement of the outbound GM&O train and also ahead on the curvature of the tracks. The fireman on the road engine can look back and check his train but the engineer can only see ahead on such a curve.
