A five car train bound for Wells Street is led by a Pullman at York Street in 1948. This view looks west from the westbound platform. Note the two men walking down the westbound track. They are either track or signal maintainers. A third man with a Fairmont motorcar stands nearby at the crossing. Click here for a larger version.
