This industry has gates that are held shut by a barrel that must be removed before switching operations can be made. Note that the automobile is parked adjacent to the tracks. This switching is done on fireman's side because of a tangent curve to the left, so it's up to the fireman to relay signals to the engineer. Also the fireman must keep a look-out for the general public because it is a public thoroughfare.
