- Description:
- Engine is going towards Irwin Street crossing. Note curves, trees, buildings, and debris on tracks. The Belt Line services 35 industries during the day, an about the same number at night. This Belt Line runs from the east main line at Armour yard approximately 5 miles to the Decatur Street yard which joins the Atlanta Joint Terminal Yard. From Armour to Decatur, it is uphill all the way and made up of numerous curves like the ones seen in this photograph. It requires a five man crew to do the job safely.
