What tracks constitute Hillside yard tracks?

• A. 1-7 north to south
• B. 2-8 north to south
• C. 1-6 north to south
• D. 3-9 north to south

Answer: (A)

Think about how yard layouts are defined on a map. Hillside yard is shown as a connected block of tracks laid out in order from north to south. The set of tracks that belong to Hillside spans from the northernmost track in that yard through the last track in the yard’s section. In this case, that means the blocks running from the northern end up to the seventh track. So these tracks form the Hillside yard: all tracks up to that seventh one, without including tracks beyond the yard’s boundary. Options that skip the first track or reach beyond the last Hillside track don’t match the actual yard layout.
