Answer: (A)

Grasping how yard layouts describe location using landmarks and track directions helps you visualize this. The West Layup is positioned to the east of Jamaica. From the pocket, the tracks run westward into the West Layup, which then trails into mainline 1 just west of the Meathouse signal bridge. In other words, you start east of Jamaica, the layup extends west from the pocket and connects to mainline 1 near the Meathouse bridge. This arrangement matches the labeled location and landmark clues.
