Such good eyes you have grandma!!!

I looked at the original photo and there are "cattle guards" across BOTH
sets of track.  But they are defiantly NOT for stray cows, they must be
there to keep people off the tracks and out of the tunnel.  The guards are
on both ends of that white fence, on the 38-42 line it is that dark area
just before the paving.  Could you imagine the lawsuits that this
configuration would trigger today???

Good Morning!!

http://www.users.voicenet.com/~dietrich/SHJ/oldover.htm  looks like a
cattleguard on the outbound 44-48 line.   Sounds comical from our
perspective, but was probably quite practical in 1906!
