- Description:
- Note automobile in and around track on right side of photo. Stub tracks on left side. Track curve to left. Trailer trucks at loading dock blocking rail. This view is to the west from Spruce Street, St. Louis, Missouri. The track on the right side is fouled by automobiles and has close clearances between the track and wire fence. Notice the barbed wire on top of the fence which is hazardous for trainmen and engineers. Cars and trucks use this street continuously and the engineer and fireman have to look in opposite directions to protect the public, themselves, the train crew, and railroad property.
