Subject: 1950’s Pokey Farm question 

Greetings to All,

During my lifetime and dispatching career on the Pokey the track layout at Farm (listed north to south) has always been Main 2 (wb main), Middle Track, #2 Storage, #1 Storage and Main 1 (eb main).  The current track configuration has only the Middle Track running directly under the coaling tower.  I’ve noticed in pictures from August Thieme, William Gordon and a drawing from Louis Newton that in the 1950’s two tracks ran directly under the coaling tower.  Can any of you guys elaborate on the 1950’s track configuration and how it was used?

Thank Ya’n Out,
Chris Dalton
