Allen Lovelady posted four photos with the comment: "Sad day at CSX Boyles Yard .. tearing the Main/Hump Tower down."
Patrick Ertle They will spend all this money now to tear them down, and when precision scheduled railroading fails, they’ll spend more money to put them right back.
Wally Walsworth Once their gone its forever, just plywood it up for awhile and see where precision railroading goes.You can always tear it down.
Cougar Coyle Don't want to pay taxes on the building , So they tear them down .
Robert Peeters Did the same thing in Calgary ab...and took out the himp
Funny they rebuilt the hump yard.
Bryan Ramsey They done the same thing in Atlanta (Tilford) then ripped up ALL the tracks. They say Hulsey (Atlanta intermodal yard) is next.
James Bresler That's the talk up here in Toledo. Gonna bulldoze the Stanley hump. They have the towers marked oos and roped off.
Bryan Benton Thomas II Stanley hump out switched all csx humps for many months.they embarrassed auto humping.
Greg Wasserman I remember just before they closed it the first time there was a graphic where Stanley had humped nearly twice the cars Willard did the year before.
