- Description:
- Track on far left is lead to No. 20-22 tracks; left foreground shows lead to No. 23-25 tracks; switch on right is set for No. 26 track and if thrown in opposite position, it would be set for No. 27. These "leads all converge beneath overhead structure and join No. 20 post office track at a trailing point switch. Switch points and targets are not visible from engineers position until after clearance point has been passed, when locomotive is headed southward which is the usual direction for operation in this yard. Steel girders, which support overhead structure, create hazards due to close clearance as well as obstruction to visibility.
