- Description:
- Shows the opposite side of Saint Vrain Street crossing, which is shown in exhibit Y-7. This intersection is one of the main streets for traffic to pass from the freeway (shown on the left) south of the city to the north and east area of the business district. Note the structure on the right. Engines moving in a westward direction on tracks 6, 7, 8, 9, 10, 11, and 12 have an obstructed view entering this intersection, and the engineer is dependent on the man on the left side of the locomotive for the safety of the cars using this crossing, standard cross-buck warning signs are used only on the south approach of the intersection.
