- Description:
- Shows some of the industry that is served on the other side of the Washington Iron Works building. This is north from area shown in Exhibit J-25. In the extreme background in the center of the picture is a plasterboard car which has been spotted for unloading. The plasterboard car is shoved over street crossing for spotting signals given on either side, generally on left side in spotting car or cars at this location. That is the end of the track. There are three industries located in that immediate vicinity and the spots are all very close. To reach that point, it is necessary to cross another street crossing that is just this side of that car. There are close clearances that can be observed in relation to the box car in the center of the picture. Switching signals are generally passed here on the left. The tracks curving off to the right lead into different areas of the Washington Iron Works.
