- Description:
- Locomotive No. 309 & National RoseTruck. Engineer and firemen must watch out for children. We see a sharp curve around towards the right. Signals must be given on the fireman's side. Just at the point of the curve there is a heavily traveled automobile crossing. As you can see there are homes running close by which create a hazard because of the possibility of children running on the tracks.
