Summary

Overhead view of the yard probably in the early 80s. notice the condition of the roundhouse, the partially dismantled coal tipple, etc. Between the two halves of the rail yard, Brunswick was 5 miles long and rated as being capable of holding something like 6,000 train cars a day (with the smaller train cars of the early 1900s). The largest yard in the world today is in Nebraska, 10,000 train cars a day (larger modern size cars), 8 miles long, and 2 miles wide.
