Yards With Multiple Railroad Locomotives

[Backshop]

In today's world, with all the pools, leasing and run-throughs, you can see any railroad's power just about anywhere. Back 60-80 years, it was different.  Can anyone remember any yards where multiple railroads met.  My examples are all from pictures, since I'm too young to remember them.

4. White River Jct, VT

White River Jct still has two yards.  The former Central Vermont yard is still mostly intact and in use by New England Central.  The former B&M yard south of WRJ Union station still has a couple of tracks used by Vermont Rail System's Washington County for interchange with Pan Am and NECR.  B&M also had a small yard across the river at West Lebanon (Westboro station) NH. A couple of tracks are still in use on NECR's ex-Claremont Concord operation there. The area north of the B&M South yard, through the passenger station and on the main line to just short of the north switch of the CV yard was "joint" and operated under B&M rulebook.  Also "Joint" were the wye and Connecticut River bridge to the ball signal on the NH side.     For passenger operations switching rotated between B&M And CV crews, with B&M or CV engines used accordingly.
