ODD SHELTER FOR FLAGMAN

House, With Appearance of Mosque, Constructed From Parts of Discarded Locomotives. A flagman’s shelter house, made up of old locomotive parts, guards a street crossing on the Southern Pacific at San Jose, Cal. The shelter, which looks like a mosque was constructed

by the consulting engineer from old engine wheels, springs, tires and other parts of discarded locomotives. Besides being an oddity in appearance, it is solidly built and one of the most elaborate shelters for flagmen In the state. It is the curiosity of the locality.

Looks Like a Mosque but Is Flagman's Shelter.
