Exhibit Q-21 was taken at night in the 17th and Harrison area in San Francisco. This is a distance of about 4 blocks from where the San Francisco municipal buses are stored. In the picture we see a municipal bus turning the corner and preceding over the crossovers of a Southern Pacific yard track, where a considerable amount of switching is carried out. It is essential, of course, to have a fireman as well as an engineer on the locomotive to observe traffic conditions.
