Hygrade Meat Plant and Surrounding Streets, 1960

 File — Box: 56, Folder: 174

Scope and Contents

CRI Unit #9811. Shows an overall view of the Hygrade Plant and the surrounding streets. An automobile in the foreground is parked close to the tracks. There is also a heavy volume of traffic on the street. The traffic shown in the picture can only be seen by the fireman. Notice also the congestion around the tracks shown over to the right where the jeep is working right on the tracks. Also notice how the signals are being given on the fireman's side. It is impossible to give signals on the engineer's side due to the curvature of the track. There is no protection at this crossing other than the cross-arm sign.
