- Description:
- North Western main line track and the Maywood lead track, which a section crew is working on with a Burro Crane. Industry in in upper left hand corner is National Malleable and Steel Castings Corporation. Constant lookout is necessary here because of workmen in the area and debris scattered long the right of way and the lead, including scraps of rail, ties, and other impediments. High speed passenger trains as well as freight service operate on the same tracks and because of the impediments and debris along the way, extreme vigilance must be maintained in lookout out for workmen and trespassers, who are on and about the tracks.
