Pull in Track which are Empty and Main Yard at Lambert Point or Coal Yard, 1960

 File — Box: 62, Folder: 16

View from Fireman's Side of Locomotive, 1960

 File — Box: 62, Folder: 17
Scope and Contents The tracks shown on the left side are the west side main line and pull-in tracks which run parallel to the Portlock yard. The curved tracks in the center of the picture are part of the wet end of the Portlock yard. This area is usually very heavily congested, especially at night. I have seen as many as seven or eight crews working the end of this yard; road crews leaving from the point and yard crews going back and forth all of the time. Because of this congestion, constant lookout is...

 File — Box: 62, Folder: 18
Scope and Contents From the File:

Exhibit Q-2 shows the repair or rip track at the Bayshore yard. There are 100 to 150 men working in this area as to whom a sharp lookout must be maintained at all times. Because of the curvature of the tracks here in all directions, it is essential that a fireman as well as an engineer maintain lookout form both sides. This is also particularly important because of a road crossing which is noted in the foreground of the picture.

 File — Box: 62, Folder: 19
Scope and Contents From the File:

Exhibit Q-3 was taken slightly to the left of the preceding exhibit and shows on the left center portion of the picture the reverse ladder tracks which means that regardless of which way an engine is headed signals must be given on the fireman's side. Note also on the right center the numerous crossovers and other curved tracks all of which require constant lookout on both sides of the locomotive and therefore it is necessary to have a fireman and an engineer in the cab at all times.
