In November, 1950, the L & N Employees Magazine ran a feature on a three-year, $700,000
improvement at Decoursey Yards. The article is here, the pictures are below.

The new oil house, opposite the roundhouse.
This view looks west.

New Office Building,
looking north

Pump House for pumping oil from tank cars to engines

Southbound classification
yard ( building on the right
is part of the Car Shop )

New icing station was next
to the Short Line departure yard. You're looking north;
the stock pens - below -
are at the north end.

Construction of washroom
for roundhouse

Roundhouse stalls are lengthened for new M-1's

New stock pens at extreme
north end of yard. (I'm told
the corn fed to the stock
drew rats by the hundreds!)

New cinder conveyors
replace old pits

This “ant-eater” scooped
spilled coal from hoppers,
and reloaded it.

Shelter house and bus access,
with a bridge across the southbound main, just south
of the billing office. Likely the
dedicated Green Line Bus
for an employee shuttle
