MONTVIEW YARD FACILITIES

Here are some shots of Norfolk Southern's Montview Yard that I recently took.

An overall view of the shop buildings. Notice the lean-to roof added to the dismounted trailer, along with the windows. There is also a picnic table for the employees. The end building is apparently the office.

A closer view of the trailer and container joined and converted into a shop facility. Note the window A/C unit held up by a wooden post. A large propane tank is located along the side of the container 'crossing the T'. I have included a similarly modified shipping container as a workshop on my HO scale layout.

A shot of the M.O.W. trucks and storage trailers.

An office trailer is located at the far end. It's not permanently mounted on a foundation or blocks, but still on it's wheels.

The view from the opposite end. Note the ties stacked up. Just to the left, and out of the picture, there was also a stack of 40' rails, similar to the Life-Like SceneMaster load sets. The paved road is publicly accessible; the gravel portion in the distance is NS property (no trespassing). If you are looking to detail your modern-day model railroad yard, these photos should help you.
