Figure 5.37 - Elevated Type 1 Car #0103, June 26, 1902
From his cab, a motorman pauses his train on the el, alongside a semaphore signal (left). The position of the semaphore’s arm and configuration of its lights indicated to the driver how, if at all, to proceed. To the right of the cab is an open vestibule. A ceiling-mounted sign within the car requests riders to “leave by side door.”
