Mine is not much of a "railyard" its more of a switch job, really.
Time: 8:50am Before I set out to do a short passenger-scenic run, my S4 had to clear off the main tracks of two boxcars that were left there. The line is used only for Scenic Trains, so the boxcars didn't pose a problem overnight.

My little project Yard...

Heres my recreation of CSX Dewitt Yard in East Syracuse.
Im working on it slowly a bit every few weeks. This is one Im revamping from my original one which I accidently put on a HOG map. :confused:

Sucky huh?
Just for some history...

Dewitt Yard was built in 1906 by NYC. From 1903 to sometime in the 50-60 it was controled NYC. Then Conrail (Consolidated Rail Corperation) bought the Yard and revamped it.
From then to 1990 I think they owned it. Then in 1990 CSX bought the Yard.
Really what happened was CSX/Conrail/NS merged and CSX got this portion of the line. from then to now they own the yard and made signifigant changes to it.
Hopefully I can get an up to date map as the one I got is from 1999. They done a few changes.

Now my other Task same yard only the map from 1906.
Heres a fact. Dewitt Yard was the FIRST to have a completely logical layout!

I'm sorry to have to be the bringer of bad news, but you are working from maps that are not to scale. The maps are condensed in width and there is no way that locos could negotiate the radius of some of those curves. Have a look at the real yard on local.live.com. Type in East Syracuse and use the 3D option. You will also see that the yard has been rationalised (chopped up) and does not contain the amount of track it once did. You will see how much longer the yard should be.
Not enjoyed I'm afraid. :(
 
Yea that why i hopefully will get a map right from the work office in the yard. my dad works there and im trying to go off google Earth too. But thanks i knew that already.
 
Well I see a lot of yards under construction so I don't feel so bad. I'll post some shots of my EBT yards in Rockhill Furnace and Mt Union. It's been a while since I last worked on them maybe I'll find the time to start in again. The EBT in its revenue days was a ng3 coal carrier. The yard in MT Union was mostly dual guage as they interfaced with the PRR and handled a lot of sg hoppers at the EBT's coal processing plant. EBT's switchers No 3 and 6 that worked the yard were sg 0-6-0's.

Here's the track layout and some shots of the MT Union yard:
