- Description:
- Servicing and spotting requires constant lookout on both sides of engines due to close clearances, street crossings, parked automobiles and vehicular traffic. Engines are generally headed north. Shows the south end of Occidental Avenue in downtown Seattle. The picture is taken facing north. Cars are always shoved behind the engine when serving industries. Most spotting is done along this one track. This track services roughly 25 to 30 different industries.
