- Description:
- Note movements of trains. Pennsylvania passenger train at left.- Freight train at right. Note congestion of trucks and automobiles. This crossing is protected by a watchmen but it only applies to the freight train, the other tracks, on which the Pennsylvania train crosses is unprotected and there is a lot of traffic on this street, both ways. This view is to the west from Missouri Avenue in East St. Louis, Illinois. It indicates some of the traffic congestion at this crossing. The trains on the right and left are moving at the same time. These automobiles and trucks frequently ignore the crossing watchman and try to beat the train. Quite often, firemen and engineers are responsible for preventing acidents here.
