Delray Container Yard

Unread post by atrainguy60 »

I've known for awhile now by looking at Google Maps that just on the other side of I 75 from Delray Junction, is an intermodal yard that appears to still load well cars. I'm assuming this is for NS, but I thought that NS's intermodal trains went to Livernois Yard? My main question is, does this intermodal yard receive it's own dedicated intermodal trains, or does it just receive a small amount of intermodal that's mixed in with manifests? Just wondering because like I said, I originally that NS's intermodal business was in Livernois, as well as CSX's.

Check out these guys. NS services the intermodal ramp but there's access to all the other railroads.

The intermodal yard just east of Delray is the Reserve Yard. Also known as the Garden Yard. NS irregularly switches the yard. Loaded intermodal have come in and out of there. NS runs 20N and 21N to and from Livernois. Dont know what trains out of Oakwood brings in the intermodal for the Reserve Yard, could be CP.
