- Description:
- Showing curvature of tracks to left. Note movement of train (on right of photo), tracks on fireman's side. Signals all passed on this side. Notice tracks in lower left: weeds covering tracks, closeness of cars in yards. Footpath across tracks (lower center) used by workmen, car cleaners, electricians etc. High voltage wires overhead. This view is to the northeast form the 21st Street Bridge. It shows curvature and congestion of tracks. his is known as the 21st Street Yard. The movement of engine and train at right center of photograph is such that the fireman has an unobstructed view of all yard movements and must receive the hand signals. Notice that all tracks converge together at lower right of photograph and that there is a footpath across the tracks in the center of photograph. Workmen, such as electricians, car washers, carmen and others use this walkway. The fireman is required not only to pass signals and relay them to the engineer but observe any ground personnel.
