Hi I am reserching the Argentine yard as it was used in early 1960's Can someone tell me which railroads could you find using this yard in this time period ? thanks very much in advance for your reply stefano
Well it is a Santa Fe yard, However with transfer runs you would find KCT for sure.Its a huge place with a lot of railroad action around it. Id say most of the major players could be found there.
