It was built by the Pennsylvania Railroad (PRR) and opened in 1888.[1] The yard begins just north of where the Conrail tracks cross the Cooper River near the intersection of State and Federal Streets, and continues north until approximately 36th Street, ending near the 36th Street River Line station. The yard was used to interchange with the West Jersey and Seashore Railroad (WJ&S) during 1896 to 1932, and with the Pennsylvania-Reading Seashore Lines (P-RSL) during 1932 to 1976.[2] Initially the PRR operated large locomotive and car repair shops at the yard. In later years the engine work was discontinued, but the car repair shops remained in operation through the late 1930s.[3][4] The yard was rebuilt in the 1960s.[5] Pavonia Yard is currently operated by Conrail Shared Assets Operations. It serves as the main classification yard for the Southern New Jersey area. It is a double-ended hump yard with a 32-track classification bowl.[6][7] In 2009, Conrail Shared Assets significantly downgraded the yard, reflecting its changed status from a major hub to a regional classification center. Most of the hump's height was removed, and the tower was torn down, replaced with a "switching kiosk" which crews use manually to throw switches. Conrail builds two CSX and one Norfolk Southern train there every day.
