- Description:
- Delta Grocery & Cotton Co. Shows an industrial track at Clarksdale, Mississippi. The picture shows two unprotected crossings, one in the foreground and one in the rear toward the Delta Grocery and Cotton Company. Notice how close the Ford Truck is parked to the track, making it imperative to maintain a sharp lookout. The general public makes great use of the crossings because of the vicinity of the grocery house. Also, it is in the vicinity of the Illinois Central Depot. Passenger automobiles are parked on and close to racks. There are several points on this track where automobiles are parked so close to the right-of-way that there is danger of side-swiping them. Naturally movement is made along this track both in the daytime and at night and in rainy and stormy weather.
