Ship Yard

Ship Yard is a rail yard on the Richmond District in Richmond, Virginia. It is just east of Triple Crossing. Ship Yard is not often used for putting together trains, but is more for storing empty cars, especially boxcars.

Famous quotes containing the words ship and/or yard:

    “A ship is a bit of terra firma cut off from the main; it is a state in itself; and the captain is its king.”
    —Herman Melville (1819–1891)

    “I’ve stayed in the front yard all my life.
    I want a peek at the back
    Where it’s rough and untended and hungry weed grows.
    A girl gets sick of a rose.”
    —Gwendolyn Brooks (b. 1917)
