"Trains approaching Mount Hope cemetery west of bridge 6 will use care to avoid meeting funeral parties where road crosses track. If any should be encountered there, hold train back and allow party to cross ahead of train..... "When using "set-out track," Kettner Blvd. and Broadway, San Diego, SD&AE Ry. trains will protect against San Diego Electric Railway inbound trains and must not delay the latter trains."
