- Description:
- Shows in the center background a Great Northern yard engine on a curve over the Milwaukee and Union Pacific main lines en route to the Fourth and Fifth Avenue switching gears. The street crossing the foreground is Spokane Street, which is heavily traveled in the mornings and late afternoons. The railroad tracks run north to south. Note that in the left-center portion of the photograph there is another industry switching operation which has a very close clearance. Switchmen are not permitted to work on the top of cars in this area on account of electric trolley wires overhead.
