WOW! You don't see many color pics from this era of Elsdon Yard

I miss the oil, dirt and grime that was around then. You don't see it much with today's steam. Great coal dock; I would love to see one work. Thanks for the great old shot Juice.

Great vintage scene!

As of 0800 hours Saturday, June 8th, 2013, the ex-GTW Elsdon subdivion is CSX property, ending CN's (GTW's) ownership. Of course the yard and steam servicing facility that shared the same name and seen here is also GTW history now, but CSX will utilize the 22+ miles of the subdivision to reach BNSF's Corwith Yard, next door, as a new chapter in railroading begins. Very nice shot Juice, thanks for this contribution.
