The K&I yard at Louisville KY is the focal point of the LS. Almost all trains will work here, and several will begin or end their trips at the yard. Besides the mainline traffic, you will have to deal with CSX trains using the NS main to reach the former Monon, and several yard jobs and locals. This area can become a real thorn in a Dispatchers plans at times.

In this scene, train Z0A (empty steel) is heading into the yard as three Eastbounds wait their turn to leave.
