Saint George terminal.[2]
History
The station served
Arlington, but the SIRT ran some trains farther west through the yard to the Western Avenue grade crossing, then into the Procter & Gamble plant yard. The plant was the B & O's largest customer on the island.[3] There was a main receiving yard at the plant, which was full of covered hoppers.[3] Procter & Gamble was such as busy place that cars were moved and spotted by a company-owned switching locomotive.[3]
