How Were Trains Moved to Grand Central

These are my recollections from the late 40's and early 50's. <br /> <br /> Trains from Mott Haven would be backed in. The loco would pull into the station platform and cut off and pull free of the train. A second loco would then go west with the train and the first loco would be free to leave. <br /> <br /> The only exception, as far as I know, was the 20th Century Limited. The loco would pull in on Track 34. It would disconnect and move forward. A switch connected 34 to 33. The loco would run around on 33 and then pu***he Century in. <br /> <br /> Last time I was in GCT the switch from 34 to 33 was still there. I doubt if they use it these days. <br /> <br /> <br /> Oops! Forgot to add that yes NH also used the Mott Haven Yard. <br /> <br /> <br />
