If I recall although I was not as railfan savvy as I am now, the only actual "yard" in the vicinity of 155 St that I can recall was one of the remaining 9 Av local tracks that sort of, but not quite, stub ended at 155 St. From what I have seen about 9 Av operation, the track configuration was such that local trains turned directly back from the 2 westernmost tracks of 155 St station and express trains used the 2 easternmost tracks to continue to the Bronx. The station sort of resembled a 4 track 2 island platform express station. I recall seeing a 2 car train laid up on one of the former local tracks as I looked down on the structure from my father's car as we drove across the 155 St viaduct. |
