Texas & Pacific Freight Yard Looking West, 1961

Shows the Texas and Pacific freight yard at El Paso,Texas. Yard engines operating in this yard are continually shoving, kicking or dropping cars over this public crossing of Tornillo Street. When doubling freight trains into this yard, the yard engine is headed west and the crossing is not protected by members of the ground crew. This yard is frequented both day and night by transients and children. Residents are on both sides of yard as shown in picture. Pictures #17, 18, 19, 20 [n.b.: internal numbers] show the same crossing looking in the same general direction as this picture.
