- Description:
- Note movement of trains in photo. Weeds, and obstructions, high voltage wires over tracks. Tracks in center of photo not protected by anything due to being inside yard. But they are used by the B&O, L&N, CB&Q, and other lines and at times this particular point is very congested. Employee's must cross rails to get the automobiles and ride same automobile back over crossings. TRRA Engine No. 598. This view is to the west from the road crossing in East St. Louis, Illinois, and shows the movement of two trains. Facing the camera is the fireman's side of engine No. 598. It is the fireman who has an excellent view of the road crossing and any movements that should come from the lower right in the photo. Notice the high weeds at right of photo. Authorized personnel are in and about this yard constantly which presents another hazard. See also P-38.
