- Description:
- Here the switching lead crosses the Wye and visibility is very poor. We see the box car left in a bad position where it may be fouling the track immediately to its left. A condition such as this demands someone on the left side of the engine to watch the clearance. (Ssimilar location to Exhibits V-8 and V-8A).
