- Description:
- Shows the extreme end of the Interbay Yard of what is commonly known as the G-yard. The tracks to the left of the wire fence on the left part of the picture belong to the government, and lead to Navy Pier No.91. The government tracks in the upper left hand portion are curved in both directions, and have several crossovers. Clearances there are close and a lookout must be maintained. The government possess their own small locomotive for their use. Great Northern is the only railroad that makes deliveries to this government-owned railroad installation. The tracks to the right in the yard also have marked curves and a lookout must be maintained at all times. Engines are usually headed south and signals are usually passed on the fireman's side.
