Clare Yard back in the day

Unread post by northstar16 »

A group of us were talking last night about Clare Yard back in the day with that yard was really busy. Living up on the Bluff we would watch the powers switch cars all day long getting them ready to be moved out east or west. Often when the engineer moved cars on the tracks whey would back up and release a one or a few cars at a time and they would roll down the tracks free and bang into another car on the track. Oh did some of the people who lived on the Bluff hate when that happened. We were wondering do they still release cars that that today. I see them a Sharon Yard move cars but never see them roll free down the tracks hitting parked cars. I know now down a Clare when they move empty tanker the engineer doesn't let them roll freely down the track to bang into another empty car. Just wondering!
