RIP (Repair In Place) Track

Exhibit Q-2 shows the repair or rip track at the Bayshore yard. There are 100 to 150 men working in this area as to whom a sharp lookout must be maintained at all times. Because of the curvature of the tracks here in all directions, it is essential that a fireman as well as an engineer maintain lookout form both sides. This is also particularly important because of a road crossing which is noted in the foreground of the picture.
