- Description:
- Taken in the same general area as Exhibit J-31B. It shows another view of the Atlantic Street crossing. In the center is the Union Pacific cross-over that is protected. The lower left-hand corner of the picture shows the common-user railroad track. This picture does not show the description well. That is the Union Pacific interchange. The common-user track is used by Union Pacific, Great Northern, and the Milwaukee. Note in the center and background the extreme track curvature as it approaches Atlantic Street, and also there are some figure S curves. Around these, the engineer and fireman must both keep a lookout.
