Yes, the yard office for the yardmaster. Probably a trainmaster [the big boss] would have an office nearby or in the same building. There needs to be a crew room/shanty where the yard crews start to work, and an engine track, unless the engine house/shop is nearby. You'll need an office for the car department; these are the guys who inspect the cars coming over an interchange; they also inspect outbound cars and snap hoses after cars are all switched into an outbound train. [don't forget any shops found have to be thrown out before the train leaves.] If there is a car repair (RIP) track in your yard, you'll need shanty space for the repair guys [same department as inspectors, but different jobs.] as well as materials storage for the shop tracks. <br /> <br />That ought to get you started.
