PRR Ghost coal dock in York PA 1985.  Unlike the one in Renovo this one has been torn down.  The signal gantry is also gone in York.

Kurt Bell: Where exactly in York was this located?

The railyard is intact because they did not remove tracks to make room for an intermodal yard. Instead, they used vacant land that was next to the yard.

It looks like the intermodal yard is also used to transload lumber.
