The first in the picture is the inbound, the second outbound. The remaining tracks are used for yard switching. Notice the reverse curve in the construction of the yard. This consists from a straight track to a tangent curve to the left and straight track and a tangent left. The tracks to the right of the curve typically are for engine house use for outbound engines, with the exception of the one to the right of the second diesel. That one is used for incoming engines.
