Not the slightest and no one at work does either.
The track on the other side of the main is called either Maggies Lead or Maggies Drawers. Where Mutual Auto Parts is now there used to be a railroad boarding house run by...MAGGIE! And she would hang the wash outside...including her drawers...or so the story goes.
In the yard itself there is the Old Even Lead and the Even Lead. The old even is the lead for the odd tracks...go figger! But in the old days that was the only lead up there and all the tracks were LONG ONES. The had crossovers in the middle though. Changed in the 60's.
