Sinossi
Railroad classification yards are sprawling, multi-acre facilities featuring miles of complex track and "sidings" where rolling stock is dropped off, sorted, and otherwise switched from train to train before being sent off to its next destination. With the glory days of train passenger service and thus railroad terminals long gone, classification yards have become the focus of modern railroad operations.This comprehensive, illustrated guide is the definitive reference to major North American railyards - more than 70 in all. Over the past 13 years the author has visited each yard gathering brief histories, operating data, information on unique characteristics, and photographs. In the relatively few cases in which yards have been downsized or closed, the author includes the most recent information.

Recensione
This book is excellent if you want information about railyards. I must for any railroad based person. --Gregory Kenkell
This book is a must have for any serious railfan, foamer, FRN, gunzel or train buff. While labeled "comprehensive," it lacks information on several local yards that I've observed (including Alliance, TX, which is the main BNSF facility in DFW), but for the yards that are included it's a treasure trove of information. It's so helpful, in fact, that it could almost be considered a field guide. Many yards include track diagrams, which I find particularly interesting, in addition to excellent photos and driving directions --N Benson
A well researched and organized volume. Great to see some of the legendary locations of the steel highways --milwaukeebeernut
