- Description:
- Sequence with O-26, O-27, O-28, O-29, O-31, O-32. The stop board just in front of the engine is the Southern R.R. track, where the Southern engine was in O-26. The houses at the let of the photo are the motor car house and tool shop for the track men. Because of the track curvature to the left only the fireman can see if a moor car or track men are on the track. All the signals are passed on the left side. The engineer has to rely on the fireman to see if the track is clear.
