- Description:
- IC Unit No. 601. We see a view of Clarksdale, Mississippi. The locomotive shown in the picture is pulling out of what is known as the Wye. As shown in the picture, as the engineer pulls around his view in front of him is completely obstructed by the curve and he has to rely entirely upon the fireman to maintain a lookout as to what is in front of the engine.
