 NYC Hudson 5282 at the Livernois Yard Turntable

 

New York Central locomotive 5282, a J1d Class Hudson, is turned on one of the two large turntables in Detroit's Livernois Yard in 1953.  To the left, in the distance, are two other locomotives at the locomotive servicing area, and the giant coal dock can be observed in the background.  Livernois, with two very large roundhouses, was one off the largest and busiest railroad yards in the United States, and the busiest in Michigan.  The complex dates back before 1900.  Photo by E.
