- Description:
- Note that in Q-22, the stop signs in the center and right center portions of the picture, which indicate a necessity for keeping a sharp lookout at all times on both sides of the locomotive for other train movements. Note also the crossover which cuts across all the tracks in the center of the picture and the sharp track curvatures running off to the left and center of the picture. Further, in the center background is a heavily trafficked street known as Illinois Street and you can see some of the trucks and cars parked in and about the street.
