- Description:
- Yard No. 4 is in the foreground. This picture is looking westward from the crest of the Manheim Road Bridge. In the background to the left is Yard No. 2. Tracks 17 to 21 in Yard 4 are extended into Yard 2. The track curvature in the yard is apparent. Because of the curves, it is also necessary at times to pass signals on the fireman's side. This yard operates 24 hours a day, yet has no flood lights within its confines besides the lights shown in the center of the picture in the background, which is the east end of Yard No. 5. Note also the debris between all of these tracks in the foreground.
