PEACH CREEK RAIL YARD
Even though this rail yard is over 100 years old they do have a modern yard office.
There aren't many large flat places in Logan County. The C&O engineers found one of the few flat spots for their train yard.
Peach Creek yard was originally a Chesapeake & Ohio Railway yard, and is now the property of CSX.
There wasn't much traffic on this day, but I did see (and talk to) several personnel. I asked permission to photograph some of the yard and they told me where it was safe
for me to do so and which areas to avoid.
Looking straight through the turntable. The yard is on the right and the old repair shop is on the left.
Slightly different view through the turntable.
The brick repair shops are in the background.
Closer view of the shops and turntable's circular track.
I'm glad I photographed this repair shop, because it is probably on borrowed time.
Turntable detail.
At one time there was a YMCA at this yard for railroad employees, but it's gone now.
In the background, mostly out of site, is the actual community of Peach Creek, West Virginia.
A nice, old brick building.
