- Description:
- Yard tower and buildings are at 23rd Street. The tower is the point from which all switching movements in this yard are directed. Engine and car are entering the ladder track No.2. Alongside of the box car can be seen the crossover to the house lead. In the lower left hand corner is a switch that crosses from the old main line to the house track lead. The next track is a switching lead that serves two ladder tracks. The engine in the background is on track No. 17. The ladder track to the left serves tracks Nos. 17 to 24, and that to the right serves No. 15 to No. 10. Track No. 16 is a short track entering No. 15 at the Broadway viaduct in the background. Also there is a track that takes off to the caboose track, horn track, and run around track to the lower end of the yard.
