There
has been much progress since the earlier photos were take, with the
yard now completed. The view looking West. Monterey is on the
opposite side of the aisle from Willis, which a part of is visible at
left. Unfortunately I can’t show the entirety of the yard as I’m
standing in an access pop-up (which we’ll see later). But we’ll see the
missing section when I show views looking back to the East. There are
10 tracks in this view. Starting from right to left, they are: #1) the
T&P connection for their local train to swap interchange cuts on
the LC trackage. #2) the MOW equipment track (also has room to hold a
commuter train during the day). #3) the Louisiana Central mainline . .
. it literally ends at the slight curve to the right in the distance.
#4) the passing siding. #5~8) the 4 track yard. #9) the industrial lead
and a run-around. #10) a second industrial lead for the team track
platform, and also industries and a wye (which we’ll see when the
camera turns to face East). |
