Smith's Station - a photo on Flickriver

Smith's Station

            Yorkrail's RJ2 is at the east end of Smith's Siding on CSXT's Hanover Subdivision passing the old depot on Cannery Rd, May 21, 2021. The conductor is about to step off at the switch for the siding and soon they will couple to the pickup here behind me. Smith's Station is the designated interchange point between CSXT and Yorkrail. Yorkrail has trackage rights from Porter's Sideling to Hanover PA. Interchange freight between the two carriers happens here at Smith's where each road leaves freight for the other to be picked up. Yorkrail sets out their freight at the west end of Smith's Siding while CSX in turn sets out their freight here at the east end. The depot on the left dates back to the beginnings of the railroad when it was the Hanover Branch Railroad. It is a private residence and has changed hands many times.
In 2021, Yorkrail began receiving former Norfolk Southern GP15-2s to replace their aging fleet of GP10s and GP16s as well as their small fleet of former Santa Fe Railroad CF7s. By the date of this photograph, CF7 #1500 was the only CF7 left in operation. The unit would finish the year out before being retired and stored at Yorkrail's Lincoln Yard in York PA.
