Just a bus station remains today. What a shot! That cut of cars is in #2 Rolling Mill. So named because cars for Quaker Oats were kept there. After Quaker Oats stopped receiving cars at the silos center right, 1 & 2 Rolling Mill were used for set offs and pick ups, due to the capacity being longer than the other tracks in the yard.

I wonder if Fred's "#2 Rolling Mill" comment refers to the track that angles towards your camera? Love the beautiful cut of EL box cars on the left
