New York Central Yards - Very few people realize the magnitude of these great yards, but they are the MOST IMPORTANT EAST OF BUFFALO. Even Albany and Boston not being excepted. It's a GREAT CLEARING HOUSE for the immense business of the New York Central lines. Here are FORTY-ONE MILES OF SIDE TRACKS on which 5400 CARS CAN BE STORED, and on these tracks alone West Springfield receives a tax of $22,500. Here also are two round houses for engines, and the big shops for repairing engines and cars, for all the New England lines of the New York Central system.
