I am writer who is working on a book about a small town that revolves around a railroad / rail yard.
Would Conway Yard fit that bill?
What do they do there?
I called the town secretary and she said it was a hub. How does that differ from any other yards?
In my story, the yard is a low-grade line. I would like it to be low grade line.
Do any of you expert members know any other yards that fit better than Conway?
Do the men that work at a rail yard just call it the “yard”?
The yard could be closed now but must start at around 1900 or close. I think the story will be in the 1950-60 era.
I would appreciate any help and would look to be asking more questions. I would give a special thanks in the book which will be available of Kindle in Oct.
In addition, any inside Lingo or stories would be cool.
Thank you.
