The Conway Yard, built by the Pennsylvania Railroad at a cost of nearly $35 million, was the world’s largest and most advanced automatic freight classification yard. Cars were directed to the proper track by an automatic system, which could set up a route of up to eight switches. The eastbound line of the railroad ran adjacent to the Ohio River (right) and State Highway 88 bordered the yard on the left. The central tower for the entire yard, the general yard office, the dormitory, and other related facilities for trains and personnel are located in the large structure in the left center of the photograph. |
