Coming into Johnston Yard         
A southbound freight goes over the Nonconnah Creek Bridge on the southbound Hollywood District main. The two tracks that go to the left are City Wye 1 and City Wye 2 and the track that goes to the right is the Grenada Wye. The little building is the "GO" office. Today, this building is gone, along with the iron man, and the block signal. All of these tracks are still here though. The track that the train is on is now called Shelby Main 1, the track to the left is Shelby Main 2, and a new track has been added to the right of Shelby Main 2 and it is called the Nonconnah.
