- Description:
- There are 16 tracks on right, 65 on the left, plus the storage track just to the right of the engine (Southern Unit 2039). Two engines are constantly working here, pulling cars from classification yard and shoving them into the forwarding yard, plus other engines making special moves. All trains leaving this yard are built in blocks in order to expedite setting off cars at their destination. Note the reverse curve of all of these tracks.
