I would like to get the addresses of the major yards in Kansas City, notably Argentine, Neff, Armourdale, Armstrong, and Knoche(KCS). Thank you, Eric Armstrong.

I just got the latest issue of railfan and railroad magazine and they had a article with map of all the major railroads and yards in Kansas City area. If by address you mean location this may help you out.

neff is 6400 martin. knocke is on front street but i don't know the exact address. armourdale doesn't really have an address anymore, as yardmasters now work out of 18th st. yard tower.
there is currently only one yard job a shift that works at armourdale and all road crews come from neff, or imrl for certain stack trains. you can find armourdale off of kansas avenue about 3 block north, go UNDER 18th st viaduct and you run right into armourdale. i'm an engineer for UP, and we run into armourdale all the time, currently they have a tie gang putting in about 20000 ties, and a signal gang working on making the west end of the yard all power switches into recieving tracks.
