- Description:
- Shows the loading platform of the Hygrade Plant. A switch is being made by men working on the fireman's side. Signals cannot be passed on the engineer's side because of the inventory hanging on the platform. Observe how important it is to keep a very close watch at this point because of the Hygrade personnel working right next to the tracks.
