You have some real gems here Bill! This whole series is a mini lesson in Eau Claire rail history.

I highly doubt these pedestrians were in any imminent danger at all. Seeing how the photographer stated the crew was putting their train together, the engine most likely isn't moving much past 5mph anyway. The crossing looks to be quite a distance away yet as well. People had alot more sense back then so I'm sure they were fine.

We were not yet moving, and the crossing signals were still off.

That's a really unusual angle Bill. A really interesting vintage shot.
