Cleveland, OH: (CSX+NS)/NYC/CSLR Rockport Yard

(Satellite)

CSLR = Cleveland Short Line Railway, a subsidiary of NYC

LSMS was at the west end of the yard, and Big Four was at the east end.

David Sharp commented on my Oakwood Yard notes: "Dennis, if you get a chance, take a look at Rockport Yard in Cleveland. It was originally built by New York Central as between point north of Berea, OH. Mixing freight between NYC and Big Four. Then Penn Central and now for NS with CSX access on the east end."

The yard still has most of its tracks.

Note the BNSF locomotive near the center of this view. It must have been on a run-through train from Chicago.
