Nice photos of an interesting of a long gone operation.
Great scans.
t4p.

+ have to admit the angle of the lighting has me totally confused.  Looking at the maps the yard is almost east-west but in January the sunlight should be very south. Interesting that the overhead photo shows the location of the demolished turntable and roundhouse.

++ ok, 3 and 4 are a SP WB, travelling compass south bound, at the north end, with afternoon light. Much better.
