Detailed Description (What):
Convert UP (track 1, yellow, whatever) Yard into San Jose Sized passenger terminal. Rebuild the yard track into a San Jose sized passenger terminal. Leave Icehouse and improve trackage around it. have Station building where Intermodal yard is, 3 or maybe 4 stations tracks between it and the Icehouse. Move freight house to be next to it
Reason(s) (Why):
From an operations perspective the layout doesn’t really justify 2 freight yards. This would give an opportunity to create a new scene that still justifies the roundhouse being there.
Notes:
Will work well with remodeled upper yard and layout expansion in front that includes may include intermodal.
Bob & John will discuss and Keith to rough mockup a plan.
