- Description:
- Shows the track leading into the Washington Iron Works. Note the sharp curve near the center of the picture. The truck on the left-hand corner of the photograph is parked on the track directly in front of the Washington Iron Works Building. The view of the crossing is almost completely obstructed by buildings on both sides, and the crossing is protected only by a cross-sign without flashing lights, gates, or bells. The crossing is entirely governed by signals; the engineers are unable to see the crossing. Service is done sometimes on the fireman's side and sometimes on the engineer's side.
