If your certain its Melrose yard, you can fix it.

We can fix this up. I’m 99% certain this is Montrose yard.

I’m puzzled. This is not at Montrose Yard? It shows on the map to be on CN.

Interesting. This yard served many railways – at one point some of it was leased to C&O for classification of freight. As well, TH&B had a yard office on site as their crews would take over trains at this point for Kinnear.

By 1987 I imagine the CP integration of TH&B was in full effect, but could C&O continued to use the yard for switching at the time?
