Heavy freight and passenger operations in late 1953, passenger trains rule (no Amtrak!) thru redball freights, local way freight turns make up for a lot of traffic on single track mainline with passing sidings. Double track connects thru yard to upper deck via a helix, car on tab keeps from reading N scale car numbers. Color of tab routes to town, markings route to spot.
