Now, we will follow the freight engines from the point of givingup then- freighl trains t«> their arrival in engine house. First, beil understood, thai the freight yard in this plan is to the west ofthe roundhouse, and all east and westbound trains terminate inthe same freight yard, and as it is located west of the roundhouse,they all have to come eastward past the coal chute on track B,.
