Conrail's Ashland Ave yard was Conrail's primary yard in the Chicago area. While mostly used for intermodal trains, this yard originated several transfer trains and local jobs. It was also referred to as the "CJ" or Chicago Junction based on the name of a predecessor company that originally built the yard.
