- View looking northward, from beneath overhead structure, at the south end of Penn Coach Yard. Track on right leads to Race Street Engine Terminals and 4 storage tracks. Track on left leads to south end of yard (20 to 27 tracks). Curvature of track gives fireman view of track conditions and movements being made across the roadway which runs across the entire yard between the far end of the overhead structure and rear end of coaches visible in center of picture. Roadway is used by M. of E. employees using lift trucks ice wagons and other equipment used to service and repair coaches. Steam connections and air connections are coupled to coaches at ends of drafts of cars shown. Steam and air are provided by yard plants.
