I have the following questions about the East Portsmouth Yard during early
to mid 50s:

     Which was the "flat yard/"  Was it the eastbound yard?

     What was Star Yard used for?  Servicing Portsmouth (Detroit) Steel?

     How many stalls did each of the roundhouses have?

     Did both the WB Coal and WB Merchandise yards use hump crew and
trimmer crews.  Or just one?

     What were the classifications for the WB coal traffic?

     Where did the following "ingredients" originate and travel (N&W, B&O,
barge) to the steel plant:

           Iron Ore

           Coal

           Limestone

      Did N&W ship most of the products of the plant?  What role did the
B&O play?

Thank You
