Closed
The yard is closed. There is still a small amount of traffic coming and going, but whatever comes in is essentially storage cars and locomotives. There is a crew that goes on duty in the mid afternoon to switch the local industries. Interchange with Camp Chase is still happening in the receiving yard for now, but this is supposed to happen out in the siding at Alton or be moved to Watkins, that decision hasn't been made yet. 376 will pickup at Alton and a local job (either L77 or L33) will come from Watkins with this and the Camp Chase traffic to set out in the siding there. The car shop is cleaning up bad orders, but the loco shop and fuel pad are shut down. Within the next week all remaining mechanical and most trans. employees will begin reporting to Watkins. Track Dept. and C & S employees are still working out of Buckeye. Keep in mind this is currently planned to be a temporary closure, however long temporary means.
By the way, the CSX operations at the Van Yard and whatever NS traffic passes through on the main are not affected.
