0 Yard Siding


Spotted that as I drove home, after groceries, after Air Care testing my motoring vehicle, and passing said test, with conditional okay re new gas cap; and after renewing motoring-vehicle insurance for another year. Spotted the small hand-painted plaque hung over the door of the portable that passes for the railman's office down here in the Marpole shunting yard. So this is 0 Yard, then.

Also, spotted a likely spot where I could snap a closer pic of that snoozing caboose.

The CPR never would've needed a caboose for shunting about railcars. Marpole, and 0 Yard, simply where it has come to rest, my guess, after decades of rolling and rattling at the back end of trains that got to see all of Canada.
