- Description:
- Showing congesting of trucks and automobiles on tracks. Note trailer in center of photo causing close clearance (on side of building) while cars are being spotted or removed from track. Damage to equipment of this nature could be severe enough to pay fireman's salary for 6 months or more. This view is also to the east from 11th Street, St. Louis, Missouri, showing curvature of tracks and congestion of traffic. Note the trailer extending from the building in center of photo and automobiles very close to the tracks. Firemen and engineers prevent costly damage here by stopping engine and train and having the automobiles moved.
