- Description:
- Also in the Memphis Terminal. Shows another blind crossing that is heavily traveled. Here again we have a problem of automobiles parked very close to the track. Clearance is close on the fireman's side along these tracks. As you can see from the picture, there is a good deal of travel across this crossing.
