- Description:
- Exhibit Q-10 was taken further in the Mission Bay yard and shows more clearly the track curvatures and large number of switches. Truck traffic can also be noted on the extreme left hand portion of the picture. All of these conditions make it imperative for the fireman to maintain a lookout on his side of the locomotive for other train movements, numerous yard and train personnel who are working in and about the tracks at all times.
