| Description: | Before becoming Harwood Yard, this location was known as Pigeon Creek Siding. Harwood Yard was probably constructed in 1905. Harwood Yard was just shy of where the PD&E crossed the CCC&StL and where most trains from the North ended their run. To the south, where the diamond use to be, the main now joins up with the former CCC&StL line instead. While it appeared at least some of the trackage south of the former diamond was still in place in 2006, there was no way to access it. |
