Synopsis

Softcover, 80 glossy pages, 11x8.5 horizontal format. "This second volume in Paired Rail's engineering series looks at the yards that were located at the boundaries of operating divisions. "A look at the division point yards of each grand division in turn. Maps of Santa Fe's division point yards show each yard at a specific point in time. Changes with time are described through the accompanying photos and text. "The greater reliance on long distance intermodal and unit trains contributed to the downgrading and elimination of division point yards. Thus, by the time of its merger with the Burlington Northern, the Santa Fe had torn up some former division point yards, greatly reduced classification at others and eliminated switch tricks in favor of local train crews."
