From The Indianapolis Star, Thursday, April 6: The Pennsylvania Railroad Company announced yesterday that a new rail yard and shop system will be installed on a site south of Irvington between Sherman Drive and Arlington Avenue. The plan will involve the use of sixty miles of rails and the yards will have a capacity of 4,000 cars. A modern roundhouse with thirty stalls will be built near the western end of the yard, and grouped nearby will be buildings for a machine shop and other repair facilities for cars and locomotives. The yards will be illuminated at night by a vast electric arc lamp system. Subways will be built at Southeastern Avenue, Sherman Drive, and Emerson Avenue, with concrete supports employing an artistic design, will eliminate grade crossings. The entire plan will require about two years for completion.
