- Description:
- Taken from the Dravus Bridge, which is located midway between the north and south end of the yard. On the extreme left are the tracks of the Northern Pacific with whom we interchange cars at that point. The first track running off the bottom of the left portion of the picture is the Great Northern main line. There is a crossover between A track and B track. One crossover leads form A to the main line, and another (not shown) leads from B to A. A lookout must be maintained here at all times from both sides of the cab for yard crews which number from 1 to 5, depending on the time of day, and road crews that move in and out of here. Note also the men walking along the tracks in the extreme left portion of the picture. Those are Northern Pacific Tracks. Twenty to twenty-four trains may run through here in a 24 hour period.
