Since Rum's Rants has been talking about how you actually get to the drop yards, it occurs to me that we should make a database of sorts, of actual locations.
I'll submit one: I drive out of the Newport drop yard, whose location recently changed so maybe this is news to you:
It's ROETSP: Able Cold Storage, 905 1st St, Newport MN
I-494, US Highway 10 South, 70th Street exit go West (Right); First right (North on St. Paul Park Road); turn right on a road that because it's on the line between cities has two different road signs, 2nd Avenue on the south side and 1st Street on the north side, directly before Newport city limit sign. Straight into Able Cold Storage, go straight and then follow the "Empty Trailers" sign.
This yard has way more space than the old one. No more diagonal blindsides, either.
