whose yard

[tommy2tap]

I want to try to design a modern themed layout around the meridian southern. The problem I have is that meridian has 2 class 1s and 2 short lines. They all have their own yards. I can clearly see the M&B and the MDS yards on Google earth but I can't visually separate the KCS and NS yards. Can anyone help me out with this one.

Welcome to The Railwire!

I don't have any particular knowledge of this area, but have never let that stop me before!

One suggestion is to look through railroad photo sites. For example, this shot from RailPictures mentions KCS leaving its rails for NS and is geotagged.

I might also suggest a slight editing of the subject to include the location. It might draw more attention to your specific site and help others in the future if they are looking for similar info on Meridian, MS.

As you progress on your planning, you might consider sharing your progress and questions in a Layout Engineering Report thread.
Again welcome The Railwire.

Best wishes, Dave

Tommy,
Meridian is actually to separate. I'll take a cram at it meter from a real computer. FWIW since that used to be ICG/IC/Midsourh trackage you migh google for maps of Meridian In that era.
