QUOTE: Originally posted by Bob-Fryml The J.R. DAVIS YARD in Roseville, Calif. is named after the Southern Pacific's last president. GEMCO YARD, just north of Van Nuys, honors what may still be its biggest customer, General Motors. But what about some other Espee affiliated yards like TAYLOR in Los Angeles, J-YARD in East Los Angeles, ENGLEWOOD and STRANG in Houston, and ROPER (ex-D.& R.G.W.) in Salt Lake City? What are their origins?

I too am curious about the various Kansas City Yards, as well as AVONDALE (NS), KNOCHE (KCS) and MURRAY (BN). How about a couple St Louis ones as well, LESPERANCE (UP), LUTHER (NS) and BADEN (MKT). Very interesting topic! [:)]
