- Description:
- Evans Avenue area in San Francisco. Unprotected grade crossing with sharp track curvature around to the left. Shows a public street crossing with two tracks and a cross-over, the cross-over coming in just where the truck in the center of the picture is standing. Public crossing is unprotected except by a cross-arm sign noted in the left center portion of the picture and it is therefore mandatory to have a fireman in the cab to maintain a lookout for traffic approaching from his side of the locomotive.
