- Description:
- Union terminal tracks end at small building with "23rd Street" sign in center-left of photograph. Small building at right center is where wash rack is operated from. White building in background houses employees' locker rooms. There is a tower behind it, which houses the yardmaster's office. From left to right, the first track leads to a grain elevator which was burned down. The next track is third rail and extends about 1 1/2 miles from Denver Terminal tracks to 36th Street. The track taking off to the left from the rail beside the switch shanty on a sharp curve is one left of the Wye track referred to in photo X-7. Denargo No. 9 takes off from the 3rd rail further back near an engine and where automobiles are parked. The other leg of the Wye track comes in between the water tank and building at the upper left.
