- Description:
- Yard switching in this area has many hazardous features. Views obstructed by jacks, wheels, wheelbarrows, small carts and trucks and other items used by repairmen. Observation of obstruction in and about tracks in this area necessitates a constant look-out by the firemen on the left side of the engine for the safety of the employees in and about the shop area.
