The underpass under the railroad was a big improvement for motorists when it was inaugurated in 1914. Before the underpass motorists coming from the west drove up to the snow shed, turned off their engines so they could hear, opened a sliding door in the shed's side, listened for oncoming trains, went through the shed a fifty yards or so, then crossed the tracks, and opened the sliding door on the other side. Back to the car the driver restarted the engine and drove into the snowshed, across the tracks and out the other side. The postcard from which this was made must date between 1914 and 1926

There were accidents.
