A&S has a small yard (Mitchell Yard) just south of Chain of Rocks Rd.
A lumber yard is also served here. Trains move slow through here as
they are approaching the end of the line for A&S and its junction with Lenox
Tower where the KCS, UP Springfield and Pana subs, and NS come together.
Lenox Tower, inaccessible without trespassing, is at the end of the first
side street off of Chain of Rocks Rd.
