- Description:
- Shows the main lines and the leads at the head of the Lambert's Point yard. There are about 16 crossovers in this yard, six of which are in this vicinity, and all of them are used very frequently. Because there are four crews working on the hump at the piers through these leads and crossovers, a sharp lookout must be maintained at all times. To the right are two or three storage yard leads.
