- Description:
- Taken in Helena, Arkansas and shows a particularly dangerous situation: an oil tank spotted at an industry. Just beyond the oil tank you can see a road crossing which is used by employees of the company and by passenger cars. There is no warning whatsoever that there is a railroad track at this point. Moreover, the view of the automobiles is cut off by the buildings on each side of the street.
