- Description:
- Sequence with O-26, O-27, O-28, O-29, O-31, O-32. The curve of the track is still on the fireman's side. The engine has just pulled out of the yard shown in photo O-28. All the signals are passed on the left or fireman's side of the engine. The grass and weeds on the track and in front of the engine makes the wheels slide when the brake is applied very hard. It is hazardous switching on track like this.
