An aerial view looking south over Conrail River Rouge yard as some rain falls from the sky to the south. NS 273 hangs out on the bypass tracks to the right over Coolidge highway waiting for their turn to run north to Livernois. Not a terribly big yard compared to others in the area but it's busy and looks to be full of cars.

At the north end of Conrail River Rouge, a NS and CPKC(still weird) unit hold tight with a rack train as a northbound CN manifest cruises by to the right. The sun showering the yard with delight golden evening light.

Robert Willison: Why is the line still referred to conrail.
Craig Hensley Photography: Robert Willison Conrail has two yards in Detroit that still operate yard transfers and local jobs.
David S. Patch: Robert Willison "Conrail Shared Assets" was set up as part of the Conrail partitioning to be a joint agency for facilities that NS and CSX could not agree to divide. There are three shared-assets zones: two neighboring ones in New Jersey and this one in the Detroit area, which includes River Rouge, Livernois, North, and Sterling Heights yards and associated trackage north of Rockwood and east of CP-TOWN LINE in Dearborn.
