My wife's grandfather worked there I'm not sure of the years but he retired from the N&W in the 1980s. Not sure what he did but I have I have his hat band that says yard conductor I was told that he worked several jobs there over the years.  Regards,John Musgrove

Subject: East Portsmouth Yard 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 YouGlenn FisherCornwall PA
