- 16x20 (inches)
- Description:
- Note tracks curve sharply to the left coming onto the lead, which makes the curve to the fireman's side, engines are headed south (photograph taken facing north). Taken in the same area as J-37. Three members of the ground crew are spread out along the track on the engineer's side. The man at the far left standing with one foot on the switch has just given a signal. The switch foreman in the center is also throwing a switch. The man at the far right is riding on a car, and is probably going to couple in or make the joint of the car, or he may be riding that car for the purpose of pulling pins. Notice also in the center of the picture just to the left is the last car which has been cut off.
