Shows the north end of the Interbay Yard. To the right of the picture is the roundhouse and the main line. All the tracks in this area, excepting the rip (repair-in-place) tracks, have the same marked degree of curvature. The rip tracks are in the extreme upper left-hand portion of the picture and are comparatively straight. The curvatures of the tracks again make it necessary for firemen to maintain a lookout from their side of the cab. The engines that work the lead in the north end of the yard are headed south, so the signals are mostly passed on the engineer's side because the curve is on his side. The extreme right track goes into three Western Food Express tracks, and curves in both directions, so the signals are given on either side of the locomotive. Also, the old main line and Government Tracks Nos. 1, 2, and 3 are also in this area and curve in both directions.
