The Trainyard or Trainyards was a section of the Docks[1] located in the north end of Brockton Bay.[2]
Description[]
The Trainyard contained a number of abandoned boxcars as well as a train station that trains occasionally passed through.[1] There were a lot of fenced-off areas, overgrown grass, train tracks, piles of trash, scrap and general debris that made it hard to navigate.[3]
History[]
Background[]
The Undersiders first met outside the Trainyard.[4]
Story Start[]
Trainwreck was known to frequent the area.[5]
Post-Leviathan[]
Chariot wanted to visit the Trainyard to gather supplies for his tinkering.[6]
When the Undersiders and The Travelers divided Brockton Bay among themselves, Bitch took the Trainyards.[7] This caused too much conflict, with Bitch chasing out every single resident of the area, so plans were made to relocate her to the city outskirts instead.[8][9] While attacking someone in her territory, she got into a fight with New Wave and encountered the Siberian.[10]
Post-Slaughterhouse Nine[]
During Dragon's move against the Undersiders, Dragon deployed the Melusine to the Trainyards in an attempt to capture Bitch. While Bitch was able to hold her own against the suit and damage it, the suit could continually rebuild itself, much to Bitch's frustration. Eventually, reinforcements from the Undersiders arrived, allowing Bitch to retreat. As they fled, they were able to destroy the suit.[11]

As a group, we walked a half block from the bus stop, around the back of a derelict building, and stripped out of our civilian clothes. The storage facility was just a block from the Trainyard. Just past the chain link fence, I could see long abandoned boxcars sat like oversize, crumbling tombstones, overgrown with weeds, surrounded by discarded bottles and makeshift shelters. The entire area was desolate, empty. It was hard to say why the bus even came this way. I supposed maybe there was a skeleton crew of employees maintaining the rail for the trains that happened to pass through. - Excerpt from Shell 4.5 - ↑ I hand picked you Undersiders because I needed allies who were comfortable being situated in the North end, the Docks, the Boardwalk, the Trainyard, the outskirts to the North. - Excerpt from Tangle 6.8

We made our way into the Trainyard, and the ride became much bumpier as we navigated areas with overgrown grass, train tracks and piles of trash. - Excerpt from Monarch 16.4 - ↑ She grinned as she joined the group that had gathered by the entrance to the Trainyards. - Interlude 8.y

Kid Win paused. This is like looking into a mirror to a year and a half ago. “Look, I can see your TV, your toaster. Chances are you’ve gone to the Trainyard or a scrapyard to find some stuff. Old batteries, car parts, chains, good metal, whatever.”
“He wanted to go to the Trainyard,” Chariot’s mother cut in, “I told him no, caught him trying to sneak out.” - Excerpt from Sentinel 9.4 - ↑ "Grue has been making attacks against my people in the upper downtown area. Howling has been heard in the Trainyard. Bitch. Regent was sighted in the college neighborhoods. Skitter made a move to take over the Boardwalk and claim it for herself. Tattletale is either abstaining, or more likely, putting herself in the middle of the Docks and keeping her head down." - Excerpt from Plague 12.2

"Nobody left in my territory."
"No threats?"
"Nobody."
Coil sighed, "I did tell you that you could run your territory as you wished. Still, that's not ideal. Would you object to a rearrangement of territory? I would grant you more overall area to control, but it would be limited to the outskirts of the city." - Excerpt from Colony 15.4 - ↑ "Did Bitch move to her new territory yet? I know we planned for her to relocate to the city outskirts."
"Not yet," Tattletale answered. She was tying the gag back in place. Piggot was screwing her eyes closed in disgust.
"So she's somewhere near the Trainyard." - Excerpt from Monarch 16.4 - ↑ Interlude 11a
