Sharonville Ohio Conrail Yard 1980

I found these photos in some slides that our family thought were lost. Sorry for the quality, they were shot off of the projection screen.

      Nice find. Looks like I see a brand new P&W box car.

      :D

      I drove by the yard the other day. The turntable is filled in. The loco shed is gone but the yard is still active. There was a train of Autoracks and a train of grain hoppers staged and ready to go. The hump in the other shot still has track and there were cars on it but the tower is gone so I am not sure if it is still in full operation.

      I remember when it was the NYC yard. In the 60's, they also kept some of their MW equipment there.

      Latest Google satellite shows the table and pit intact. Just to the south of E. Sharon Road. Roundhouse is foundations only. Single track, but the round oil tank to the far right of your photo is still there, still has the same power mast and control cab on the table.
      If it's the same one.
