- Description:
- This is a view of the hump track. There are forty-two of these tracks, all leading into the two lead tracks. .The cars come over the hump from the left in the photo and roll to the right. The yard engines pull the track from the right side of the photo or the north end of the yard. Due to the curvature of the tracks signals are passed on the fireman's side. Flood light are very bright at night making vision very poor. The open track to the left is a inbound freight lead used by yard engine and road crew to receiving yard.
