Where is the Jamaica Storage Yard located?

• A. West of Jamaica Station, west of the Advance yard and the receiving yard
• B. East of Jamaica Station
• C. North of the Advance yard
• D. Inside the main terminal

Answer: (A)

This question tests how railroad yard layout places storage areas in relation to stations and other yards to keep operations smooth. The Jamaica Storage Yard is located on the western side of the complex, specifically west of Jamaica Station and also west of the Advance yard and the receiving yard. That western placement helps keep storage cars out of the passenger flow and mainline activity, while still giving yard crews easy access from the yard leads that approach from that side. If it were east of Jamaica Station or inside the main terminal, it would interfere with passenger operations and platform areas. Being north of the Advance yard wouldn’t match the actual track alignment used for staging and storage.
