- Description:
- Shows an engine shoving into a classification track. The picture is taken on the left side of the engine. As you can see, the fireman has a good view of what is ahead of him and keeps the engineer informed as to where he is going. Since the engineer is on a curve at this point, he is unable to see the tracks leading into the yard.
