    I would at sometime love to see Conway Yard show up in TSW in the time period of the early 60's when it was at it's best with double hump yards and locomotive shops.It was the largest freight yard in the world from 1956 until 1980,The enlarged yard was one of four built in Pennsylvania at that time as part of a major PRR expansion, the others being Altoona Yard, Enola Yard, and Harrisburg Yard.Capacity was 9,000 cars per day.Conway is the only remaining large operation. NS processes 90,000 to 100,000 cars per month (as of 2003). The site currently occupies 568 acres, with 181 miles (291 km) of track and a storage capacity of over 11,000 cars.And then you wonder where they got the idea of Bailey Yard North Platte,Nebraska lol
