| Our yard would have covered the entire area behind this building and the track to BF Goodrich curved around this building. In the background, the Akron Transportation Center occupies what was our High Yard. Closer to the building was the Cereal Belt Yard, later known as the Belt Yard. It was in 5 & 6 Belt that we would spot TOFC for UPS loading and unloading. Two ramps were built out of a cut in half TOFC, leaving the trucks on one end and tilting the other end toward the ground. Worked well. See rrpa RJ Williams Akron and Vicinity album for a glimpse at that ramp in the "after" days. |
