- Description:
- This is a view of 10th Avenue taken from a point opposite of that shown in exhibit O-14. The engine (SAL Unit 1768) at the right center of the picture is entering 10th Avenue. Note the automobiles on this street. Because of the curve to the left the engineer cannot see this traffic. There are no gates, flagmen, signal lights or any other form of protection at this crossing. Notice also the building on each side of the track obstructing the view of the train. This street is very heavily traveled by motorists and city buses. This is an industrial movement which does about six hours switching in this area a day. The Central of Georgia and the Frisco also do switching here.
