Yards,Yards,Yards I love Freight Yards

Hi All
Well,have been trying to get some Honeydo stuff around the house while I am on holidays but the weather has not been co-operating all that well,so have been in the train room all day,made up my switch lists and started moving trains and sun comes out and back to work, I left the yard in a bit of a state,both Arrival tracks are plugged and nothing moved out have another 12 cars to arrive soon, I may be looking at a reprimand if this keeps up...



So guys lets see your Yards, finished,unfinished or whats moving in and whats moving out.

CP, It still looks better than the UP/SP Merger!!

Here's a couple pictures of two yards on the Penn-Haven Central RR. The first pic is of Michell Yard, looking East



And another view of Farmingdale Yard, which was part of a previous layout and added on:



Things seem to be fluid here!!

Smile Nice Pics!

Everyone has some real estate to be proud of (except for maybe a certain traffic jam up North...but I won't mention names!)

Domiluk- what were you using for loads in those gons for the Staging Yard Pic??
