W. 72nd Street yard looking south

infrastructure

The operating terminal on the 30th Street Branch is the classification yard at 72nd Street, although the Branch runs considerably further south on Manhattan Island (to St. John's Park Terminal when this picture was taken; now, just to Bank Street, some twelve blocks further north). This photograph, taken from 71st Street looking south, shows the stub-end yard, with tracks leading to floatbridges and piers beyond the West Side Highway viaduct on the right. The yard has since been extensively rebuilt into a more compact, double-ended layout.
