Railyard: (Satellite, even the mainline is gone.)

| Bev Smith commented on the post below In 1913 the Reading expanded shops and yards in Saint Clair making it the "largest classified coal yard in the world." There were 63 tracks that covered 46.5 miles with a capacity for 2,861 cars. The Reading's only full-circle roundhouse had 52 stalls. Over 1,200 men and 25 supervisors were employed here when it was working at full capacity. |
