- Description:
- This is a view of the L&N passenger station, Birmingham, Alabama. There is no protection other than a cross-buck sign. Note the grass along the tracks on the extreme left and right from where people can emerge suddenly. The track to the left of the photo is a main line track. The tracks to the right are yard tracks where cars are often switched. Note the group of children waiting for the engine and cars to pass in the center background. School children use these tracks frequently as a short cut to school. The fireman must watch for the children as well as take signals while switching around curves..
