Description: 

This is the stretch of track on which in The Mansion Mink Snopes finishes his pedestrian trip into Jefferson down the railroad tracks. The part of town he arrives at is described as a "quiet edge-of-town back street beneath the rigid arms of the semaphore arms of the crossing warning and a single lonely street light" (448). Since the first person he sees is a Negro boy, this may be the black district in town.
