- Description:
- Exhibit Q-3 was taken slightly to the left of the preceding exhibit and shows on the left center portion of the picture the reverse ladder tracks which means that regardless of which way an engine is headed signals must be given on the fireman's side. Note also on the right center the numerous crossovers and other curved tracks all of which require constant lookout on both sides of the locomotive and therefore it is necessary to have a fireman and an engineer in the cab at all times.
