Looking south in Gray's Ferry Yard. All the tracks shown in the picture start within the yard and then they cross 49th Street, which is a heavily traveled road. Traffic does not always stop at the railroad tracks crossing, so a lookout on both side is necessary. Traffic is so heavy because of fuel oil companies located at foot of 49th Street.
