Description
The downtown Detroit skyline and the Ambassador Bridge across the Detroit River form the backdrop for this view of Junction Yard as seen from a second-floor window of Central Avenue yard office. Central Avenue is directly below, and beyond it is the eastbound class yard, with tracks 1 through 23 fanning out in the center background, bordered on the right by the "Boulevard," tracks 24 through 35 (the yard engine is on 24), and running tracks 35 and 36. The Glory yard is on the far left, and the Detroit stockyards are in the right background.
