    If Sandro is correct, then Scott, you have less than a year to learn as much as you can, cuz you'll forget it after that. And for the rest of us, I forgot what I just wrote, so could someone please read it back to me........

    Ahhh!!!!

    P&LE's Gateway yard, Southeast of Youngstown, Ohio. Google Maps

    The hump yard was a little east of this spot and for its time was a very modern computerized yard.

    I already did, it's Pittsburgh and Lake Erie's Gateway yard. I drive by it every once in a while. Last I looked the big P&LE sign was still on the hump tower. Also in this corridor is the B&O main and a PRR line.

    I missed the actual question. I thought it was going to be classic Stutzman obscurity, such as, "What popular song of the 1950s was written less than 1/2 a mile from this yard?" or something like that.

    Ya know what's funny? I grew up not 20 miles from here, and passed it every time we visited my grandparents. I should have seen that coming!;)
