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. You may encounter a small group of raiders camped out there or alternatively a scavenger in possession of Deathclaw Gauntlet schematics in combat with a Deathclaw (this is a random encounter, also known to be encountered outside Super-Duper Mart). Directly south-southeast of Meresti trainyard 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 Meresti trainyard. 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

This may not be a permanent thing, as I haven't had a chance to double-check it with a second run-through, but looking up from Meresti during the day, a group of buzzards continually circles above the entry tunnels. If this is a permanent effect, it would prove quite useful for spotting the trainyard from a distance.

Confirmed, buzzards sighted at 19:14 game time.

Confirmed buzzards when dead corpse is located at site. I have encountered the buzzards at Meresti Trainyard with a pack of Vicious Dogs (random) that killed a wastelander or the chem dealing wastelander. The corpse has nothing useful, except a lead pipe. If the chem dealer has died, you will only find a Med-X, Rad-X and RadAway. (various amounts)

The wastelander mentioned above can be found alive but once spoken to will talk about something like the green one(not sure if that was what it was) and will suddenly fall down and die.

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)

in the area around bommed out houses where tumblers today are found in bath tub several safes and cabinet.(steath boy,laser pistol,scoped magnum,caps.

Alien Power Cells

  • Once after I came out of the trainyard there was an explosion from above and alien power cells were all over. This is a random event and has only happened to me once. (That is a random event that seems to be most likely at Meresti. See the Firelance article for more information.)
  • Confirmed... Meresti Trainyard is among the most common sites for the alien crash random event. Over the course of four play-throughs, I encountered the event here twice.
