Partial View of the East End of Portlock Yard, 1960

Note here how the tracks curve in both directions, making it necessary for signals to be passed frequently on the fireman's side. Constant lookout is also necessary on both sides of the engine because of the many crews that work in and out of this yard at all times. This picture was taken about noon time and there was not much congestion at this time. Later during the afternoon and especially at night there are many crews working in and out of this yard.
