- Description:
- This picture taken in the Memphis terminal shows the lay-out of the yard with an engine approaching the Frisco Wye. The fireman is depended upon to keep the engineer informed of the conditions on the track and the movement of other engines. This is a 24-hour a day, day and night operation in a very busy area. There is a number of switch engines working here at all times and there is a great number of employees that work in the industries around this area.
