THat it never had any train service is a fact that needs no corroboration although apparently some track did come close enough to it that it was able to be seen by local yard M/M and station switchmen working in the area. It is known that A7 and A* yard leads were connected the A5 and A6 leads just inside the Pitkin Yd portal and that some yard moves were made onto those tracks prior to the removal of the switches When I was there the first time in 1962, there was rail on both A7 and A8 for about 2 car lengths although the switches had been removed. There were no bumping blocks at the ends of the tracks which seemed to indicate that the tracks had at some time in the past gone farther back than the 2 car lengths that were exposed at the time I was there. |
