Meresti Trainyard

 is an old trainyard which can be used to easily access The Family's nest.

Location
Location three squares east from Arefu.

It is just west from Agatha's house and shouldn't be too hard to locate from there.

Outside
You will find several abandoned, rusty old trains outside the entrance to the tunnels. You may have a random encounter here.

Directly south-southeast of is a cluster of homes not on the map. There are 2 safes in the houses, a Tumblers Today (can be found in a bath in ruins of one of the houses), a third safe in the radiated ruins of the demolished building south of that, and some assorted custom weapon parts (leaf blower, lawn mower blade and pilot lights). 2 Protectrons (or Robobrains) have been seen to patrol there.

Inside
The tunnels leading to The Family's hideout are accessed through the door located alongside the building at. There is a scavenger permanently parked there on the tunnel next to The Family's tunnel selling mainly wasteland clothing, weapons, and a handful of stimpacks. Inside the tunnel are several traps including several mines, beartraps, a pitching machine activated by a tripwire and a booby-trapped baby carriage.

Notable Loot

 * Nothing of interest topside, but Tumblers Today in the service tunnel.
 * Tumblers Today sitting in a bathtub in one of the demolished houses south-southeast of the yard.

Location Note

 * A group of buzzards continually circles above the entry tunnels which is quite useful for spotting the trainyard from a distance.


 * When you fast travel to Meresti Trainyard it drops you not 10-15ft from a pair of large dumpsters that you can store your loot in. (Helpful if you don't have a house)

Firelance

 * Meresti Trainyard is among the most common sites for the alien crash random encounter.

Bugs
When I first went to Meresti I got lost in the tunnels and ended up at the trainyard. I would always fast travel there and go in through the right door, the one with no trains to close to it. Once I fast traveled there and opened the door to get in and tried to walk through but it wasnt allowing me to. I dont know what happened but everytime I tried going in there it didnt work. If this happens to you just go through the other door, the one with the trains by it. When this happened to me I didnt know there was another door so I just waited 2 weeks in game and it worked again.
