- Description:
- Taken at the south end of the Interbay Yard about one mile south of the preceding exhibits (J-34). The north end is visible in the distance. The smokestack and warehouse buildings, including the roundhouse, are in that area. The curvature of the tracks running off from the lead track is clearly shown here. All of the curvatures from these leads are on the left side of the locomotive and signals are sometimes passed on the fireman's side in this area. They are passed here again generally on the engineer's side whenever possible. The engines are headed south in this area and we are looking from south to north. There are typically two (sometimes three or four) crews working in this area.
