We see a well traveled crossing in which visibility is restricted because of the warehouse shown at the left, the box cars standing on the tracks, and other obstructions. The tracks are covered by weeds, which hide the debris. These tracks are used by passenger and freight engines, both yard and road. This is the main line looking south when entering Central Station, which has "S" curve. The shanty is at Hulen street where a switch tender was employed, but who has been eliminated. This is a good view showing how the lead crosses the main line to gain access to the "new track." The fireman here is responsible for passing signals and for watching cross-overs and road crossings. This area is switched both at day and at night.
