It's hard to believe this was once allowed.The Kaufman Act was enacted because there was a deadly traffic accident caused by locomotive steam obscuring one of the new traffic signals on 30th St. Some of the first diesel locomotives were built to fill this newly mandated market as other railroads had freight yards on the West Side and used steam powered switchers. |
