We see a picture of the Memphis Terminal. Shown is a crossing used by several railroads. The fireman has the responsibility of keeping the engineer informed of trains using the crossing while the engineer is taking signals from yard crews on the other side. The crossing is shown in the background of the picture in the center, immediately in front of the locomotive.

Also in the Memphis Terminal. Shows another blind crossing that is heavily traveled. Here again we have a problem of automobiles parked very close to the track. Clearance is close on the fireman's side along these tracks. As you can see from the picture, there is a good deal of travel across this crossing.
