The "West Yard" a recent look...


On 02/24/06 I shot a westward looking picture of the old NYC/PC now CSX West Yard in Ashtabula, OH.  Built on the New York Central's "Water Level Route" (New York City via the Hudson River, Albany, Buffalo, Cleveland to Chicago), the West Yard was Ashtabula's rail link to the world.  It has changed much since the days when I worked there in 1968 and 1969.  Its smaller now and the Main Line, which was four tracks into the 1990's is now down to two (see right side of the picture).
