Hello,

Does anyone have information concerning the number of tracks, types of facilities etc at Oakdale yard In Toledo, Ohio? This yard was located to the west of the Toledo Terminal Railroad and NYC main line crossing at Vickers.
Also, I am looking for information on Air Line yard, particularly the type of coaling plant that was in use there in the 40s and 50s.

Regards,
Charlie Whipp

MC8000,
I just noticed your question about Airline. If you haven't found it yet try looking up this web site: www.hometown.aol.com/dam1941/nyctolwest.html :-)
