Looking west at Frankfort, Ind., in 1944, we see the westbound yard with its east-end ladder angling off to the right, and in the distance the eastbound yard’s east ladder running the other way. Beyond the east yard ladder are the icing platform and the ice plant. Jay Williams photo

One thought on “Nickel Plate yard at Frankfort, Ind.

  1. Note that the NKP # 228 (0-8-0) switch engine was 19 years old when this historic photo was taken… Unfortunately, it could not be saved from scrapping.
