- Description:
- Stratton Warren Hardware Company (37 E. Carolina Avenue). Shows a very hazardous condition at the Memphis yards. As you can see, there are two cross-overs, one in the foreground and one towards the rear. These conditions require look-out by all members of the crew at all times. There are several railroads that use these cross-over tracks. Notice also how a road runs right next to the railroad tracks shown in the center towards the background of the picture. You can just see the light colored car behind the telephone pole.
