Hi all,
I am looking for the name, (old PRR name) of the little PRR yard in Pottstown where the cars for Occidental were staged.
Currently, the scrap metal junk yard attached to the yard is the last active customer on the line since Occidental shut down earlier this year. The scrap yard receives just a few cars per month.

In the Google photo above, the yard is stil being used to stage tank cars for Occidental.
There is a NS office in this little yard, closed now I think, since I haven't seen an engine ideling there in quite some time now. There is also a working car scale in this yard.
Was this the only PRR yard in Pottstown? Or was there a different yard before Conrail ripped up the tracks from Pottstown to Birdsboro?
When did Conrail abandon the line north to Birdsboro, and build the connector to the Reading yard under RT100 in Pottstown (Stowe?).
