I have been looking for any info on an old Rail Yard that used to be located at 3rd and Erie Ave. in Philadelphia. I can't even find a name for it. I know it was running in the 60's and before that. I grew up right next door to this line. I had found some old pictures of it on PHILLYHISTORY.ORG.
Also, check Historic Aerials.
Near the end in the 1970s, the Reading used it as a piggyback trailer yard.
In the early 1950s, the engine house was used for freight engines. Len Smolsky remembers being a fireman on a T-1 steam loco about 1954 that he got out of there, ran light to the Baltimore & Ohio's East Side Yard, and took a freight train to Jersey City.
