I wouldn't be surprised to find out that (Conrail Shared Assets) Pavonia Yard (Camden NJ) is the smallest hump yard, anyway.

There is a small 3 or 4 track yard for the industries in Alsip, Il. There is also a 3 track Yard belonging to the Canadian National (Grand Trunk) in Blue Island, Il. And there is a bigger yet small yard in Argo, Il. It belongs to the IHB. They have 2 yards on site, 1) the old yard is 3 tracks about a block in length for setting out and picking up cars, or crews coming in with not enough time on their clocks. and 2) the New Yard is a bigger (about 6 to 8 tracks) for switching cars and putting trains together to go out on the road as well as the Industrial trains.

add-on to my last comment: There is another small yard on the Southeast side of Chicago. It is 1 track where about 6 to 8 cars are usually set out for a trucking company or two, to pull into and load their trucks with flour, starch, etc. I can't think of what they call it right now, but it is located at 117th and Torrence Ave. in Chicago, Il.
