The article does not appear to meet WP:GNG. A search does not reveal anything about this subject at all, other than Wikipedia mirrors. The sources only support the yard's existence and nothing more. Two of the three sentences in this article are not even about the yard itself. Epicgenius (talk) 14:16, 21 September 2022 (UTC)[reply]

Delete, search returns nothing indicating notability, even for a redirect. Eddie891 ^Talk _Work 14:23, 21 September 2022 (UTC)[reply]

Striking my vote as I only did a search under 'Old Burnside Yard', did not look for 'burnside shops. Eddie891 ^Talk _Work 22:25, 21 September 2022 (UTC)[reply]

Keep, but move to Burnside Shops. I am not sure where the "old" came from, but Burnside was the location of both a yard and significant shops for the Illinois Central Railroad. Easy GNG pass, as seen with [1] [2] [3] [4]. The last source states that the Burnside Shops were the most important shop facilities on the Illinois Central. I found so much coverage I could write a GA on these shops (and I might do so). Trainsandotherthings (talk) 22:04, 21 September 2022 (UTC)[reply]
Given the above, I'd like to withdraw this nomination. I somehow thought this was a yard called "Old Burnside". Burnside Shops, on the other hand, is clearly a notable topic around the same location; the article is just very poorly named. – Epicgenius (talk) 12:52, 22 September 2022 (UTC)[reply]
