99 Aerial

As I recall, MP 408 was about the ice house by Bristol Yard.  399 would be way east of the location shown..

Here is a Google view of what the crews and the taxi drivers call 99. Trains sometimes pull east to clear State Street and do the crew swap there. 

I appreciate Ed's clarification as to the 1956 photo's identity.  Also, my reference to 99 being east of Wyndale was a shortening of MP 399.

The possibility that the 99 refers to the number of cars that can be stored sounds plausible.
