This is a view of the Seaboard Railroad track at 10th Avenue and 30th Street North, Birmingham, Alabama. Notice the insufficient clearance sign at the right side of the photo and also the trees and bushes where the box car is spotted in the upper left center. The grass along the track is very hazardous for the ground crew getting on and off the moving cars. At the upper corner left of the photo is 28th Street which is heavily traveled by trucks and autos. Also notice the stop sign at the left of the picture where in addition to the street crossing, there is also a railroad crossing. It is essential to have a fireman here to pass signals and observe the crossing.
