- Description:
- Shows in the foreground the tracks at the west end of the Barney Yard and, in the background, the middle of the main coal yard at Lambert's Point. The little blips in the background are, of course, the ends of the coal cars and there is here a virtual sea of coal at all times. Note: this yard is congested all the time. There are many curves first to the right and then to the left. This requires engineer and fireman to be on the alert. All the crews that operate in yard service on both ends of this yard use two units due to the heavy to tonnage being handled.
