About Othmar Yard |
 |
|
| The Backstory |
|---|
| Othmar Yard is an Amtrak/MARC electric and diesel maintenance
facility somewhere near the southern end of the NEC, the North-East
Corridor in the Washington DC area. In addition to performing overhauls
on Amtraks diesel and electric fleet, it also features a wheel shop which
works on a wide range of Amtrak rolling stock and even the occasional
freight car. It receives the occasional visit from a CSX way freight
delivering materials, diesel fuel or a freight car needing repair.

| .... or is it? .... |
| Othmar Yard is a locomotive workshop in Eastern Switzerland
servicing the SBB's fleet of Class 460 passenger locomotives along with
a number of cross-border visitors from the OBB and occasional locomotives
from private operators. The yard also features a wheel shop to make running
repairs to rolling stock.
A short section of dual gauge track can be found at the
back of the main works for testing the occasional meter-gauge loco sent
here for repair. |
