Today, I want to focus on rail yards in the Indianapolis area. I chose this area because I have access to aerial photographs of the area. I chose the year 1941 because it is the earliest I can find complete photos. There are some available from 1937…and you can check them out at the MapIndy site.
Yes, it is basically only pictures. It also includes links to articles that I have already written…and gives me some future topics to cover.
Illinois Central Yards
Moorefield Yards
Yards along the Monon & Nickel Plate
State Street Yards
PRR Transfer Yards
West Bank of White River
Indiana Transportation History 
My maternal grandfather, Edward Michael Cantwell, was a car inspector at the Hawthorn Yards. My paternal grandfather, Louis Francis Mahern, was a boilermaker at the Brightwood roundhouse and later at the Hill Yards roundhouse.
