[quote]QUOTE: <i>Originally posted by SpaceMouse</i> <br />... Next thing I knew, the yard was maybe a 1/4 mile across and 50 or more tracks wide. And jammed with rolling stock. A sea of rolling stock. . .The yard was 5 to 10 miles long. . . <br />Was this a major hub or are there lots of yards like this? <br />[/quote] <br />Chip, <br />That is a prototype staging yard, you're not supposed to actually be able to see it.[swg][(-D] <br /> <br />Seriously though...that <i>is</i> a 'major' yard and there are lots of them scattered throughout North America (but nowhere near as many as 30 years ago [sigh]). Most modelers need to use selective compression to mimic something like this. My visible yard only contains 6 tracks for car storage.
