- Description:
- The Milwaukee Road Locomotive Unit #621 headed north. Taken in the same general area as Exhibits J-12 and J-13. To the right of the picture under the viaduct are the crossovers seen in J-12. The tracks on the left are used by the Milwaukee Road and Union Pacific and are now occupied by two Milwaukee Road movements headed toward each other on adjacent tracks. This operation is a 24 hour a day operation. The street crossing in the foreground is Atlantic Street, and is very busy at certain times of the day. Note spotters standing on top of the box cars being shoved by engine in background of photograph.
