A big thank you goes out to Jeff at the NYCSHS for scanning my original 1940 blueprints of the Utica, NY yard & facilities. (Edited for hi-res scan)
They are now free for all to enjoy...
PS- You may have seen bits and pieces here or from previous posts on Facebook, but this is the whole thing!
thanks!

Beautiful Mario! Thank you for sharing it with us.
Ok, I converted it to pdf.
Try this...
Very nice! I wonder why Two half moon roundhouses instead of one centrally located facility?

I believe the one on the west end is for the Adirondack branch, and the larger on the east end is for the main.
Notice how tracks 1 & 2 (numbered from the North) are the freight mains and loop up around the east roundhouse and go into the yard, whereas tracks 3 & 4 are the passenger and go straight into the station.
Thanks!

Thanks! I used to walk the tracks near that station with my uncle as a kid. (I know, probably not the safest thing but those are great memories...)
