yard action

[NW Mailing List]

Starting around 26:30, the curved track on the left is the joint PRR(CA&C)/N&W joint line that connects N&W’s Joyce Avenue yard and Columbus Union station. 

A bit later, an M is coming down that track; M’s were used regularly in Columbus to access the N&W freight house via a flyover of the PRR’s yard. Side note, The PRR shops in Columbus were reportedly the second largest on the system.

I just watched the linked video because I thought I might see a couple Arrow scenes at CUT.  Much to my surprise, at about the 2/3rds point we get to see yard action with heavy freight power from PRR and N&W mixing it up.  Can someone ID the yard and does anyone have a handle on the operations?  Was it just PRR/N&W freight interchange?  It appears there were some locomotive repair facilities there.  Were they shared?
I really enjoyed watching the N&W portion:
