In my copy of Gary Grigsby's War in the East Orsha has no Railyard!

What version of the game are you seeing this on? Do you have a save you could share with us?

Version 1.03.11 GC this is post execution of GT1 air phase. No fog of war.

Orsha has always had a Level 1 Railyard until this Version.

Nope, loaded up older game version and no railyard there. There may have been a depot there that spawned a railyard.

I concur with Denniss' observations, I went back to old saves (V 1.03) and no railyard. Now the question of should there be? Umm... Yes, a quick Google search certainly seems to indicate this was a "major" rail center.

Version 1.03.11
Introductory Scenario 2 Road to Minsk, Orsha level one railyard and Sov depot present.
Stalingrad to Berlin Campaign, No Orsha railyard and no depot.
Vistula to Berlin Campaign, No Orsha railyard and no depot.
Operation Typhoon 41, Orsha level one railyard and Axis depot present.

In my opinion, Orsha in the Great Campaign must have at least one level 1 railyard (at a minimum). Aerial photographs from 1941 show the existence of an extensive rail network (and it also serves a fairly large junction, which necessitates substantial railway infrastructure). The photographs clearly show the large size of its (several) railway stations.
