The elevated portion of the expressway is not paved; it only has support beams. Motor vehicles are stopped at the intersection. On the SE corner of the intersection is an Exxon gas station, behind is a sign and car lot for OK Used Cars; then the Texas Industries Concrete facility. On the horizon are the railroad and Greenville Avenue intersections with Arapaho Road.

Notes

User Feedback: "I believe this is the intersection of Arahapo and Greenville (HWY 5), which is about 500 feet west of the described position. In 1988 Central Expressway (HWY 75) was a divided freeway, which is inconsistent with the photo."
