"Lap switch" at south end of class yard. Hump was at north end. What impressed me was the number of tracks in the class yard. Engine with caboose sitting on lead is PC 2500 U25B.

Good capture of trackwork and the huge plant once present at Providence.So many big yards were still there in New England 50 years ago
