- Description:
- This picture shows the extensive trackage under and adjacent to the Alaskan Way Viaduct at Atlantic Street. The white lines in the foreground are a pedestrian crosswalk. Since tracks curve here to the right and to the left, and with the pedestrian crosswalk, it is obviously necessary to maintain a lookout from both sides of the locomotive. You can see the tracks crossing the extreme right there. Generally, the standard switch type locomotives are used in this area.
