Railyard East: (

This yard was so large that it was in several Ohio towns. So I went with the best known town in the title.
The P&LE interchanged with the B&O and NYC here. "The Gateway Yard has sat quietly since 1993, when operations came to a halt after the P&LE was absorbed into CSX. They had decided to shut down the yard due to the closure of many steel mills into the early 90s." [
ArchitecuralAfterlife, this webpage has some photos of the yard tower.]
Note the yard tower on the right.

1978 Gateway departure and hump yard. Haze from the mills, sadly all gone.
The left 2 tracks B&O New Castle Sub, all to the right of that is gone.
Jerry Lambert: It was a premier yard in its day. It was really automated for its time. |
They have yet to bother to fill in the turntable pit.

posted six images with the comment: "I bought this booklet on eBay last week and it arrived this weekend. It's a beautiful 16-ish page booklet detailing the operating of Gateway Yard. If I had to guess, it was a promotional item from the sales team to highlight yard operations to customers. I've included a few of the pages here, and if time permits in the next week, will copy over the whole booklet."
And the yard is so big that I needed two 1950 aerial photos to cover it.
