      <title>ADAPTATION OF MARSHALLING YARDS FOR TAKING WAGONS WITH WHEELBASE OF MORE THAN 14 M. PRELIMINARY STUDY OF EXISTING AUTOMATIC MARSHALLING YARD</title>
      <link>https://trid.trb.org/View/15517</link>
      <description><![CDATA[This report contains a technical study of the solutions which are already applied to existing marshalling yards.  It shows the scope of the problem and assesses the present solutions for the automatic hump shunting of very long wagons.]]></description>

      <title>PENN CENTRAL AUTOMATES BUCKEYE CLASS YARD</title>
      <link>https://trid.trb.org/View/11802</link>
      <description><![CDATA[Penn Central has modernized a key midwest terminal by installing a new automatic classification yard using process control computers.  Known as Buckeye Yard, this Columbus, Ohio facility is currently classifying 2500 to 3000 cars daily.  The new yard, constructed on the west side of the city, provides improved control of traffic through the terminal area.  Work formerly handled at eight yards is now centralized at Buckeye.  Four of these yards will be available for urban redevelopment.  Immediate benefits to shippers from the Buckeye Yard is a considerable reduction in time cars spend in Columbus terminal: what formerly took 4-5 days to handle cars through Columbus now takes about 25 hours.  Buckeye Yard is also blocking cars for the St. Louis gateway connections to MP and StLSW and to SOU at Cincinnati for Atlanta, Georgia and Chattanooga, Tenn.]]></description>

      <title>CLASSIFICATION YARD UPGRADED WITH NEW MASTER RETARDER</title>
      <link>https://trid.trb.org/View/11806</link>
      <description><![CDATA[On April 8, 1970, at Boyles Yard on the Louisville & Nashville, the master retarder was replaced.  Although retarder replacement is vital to keep automatic classification yards operating at peak efficiency, there is much more signal and communications maintenance work that is performed on a continuous basis without being so obvious.  As railroads have learned with sophisticated computer systems, so with advanced automatic yards and communication systems utilizing solid-state electronics and computer oriented facilities, skilled maintenance personnel is necessary.  Proper maintenance keeps troubleshooting to a minimum and keeps systems operating.]]></description>

      <title>NEW COMPRESSORS GIVE N&amp;W YARD PLENTY OF AIR FOR RETARDERS</title>
      <link>https://trid.trb.org/View/11852</link>
      <description><![CDATA[At its new Roanoke, Va. automatic retarder classification yard, Norfolk & Western has assured itself of plenty of compressed air at 125 psi for retarder operation, even in emergencies.  Should power fail, air from four 120 cu ft receiver tanks will supply air to retarders to control any cars being humped at the time of power failure.  Also, the receiver tanks plus four new compressors with a combined capacity of 4,000 cfm will assure an adequate air supply for dual humping operations.  Significant savings were obtained by use of heat exchangers in an improved recirculating compressor cooling water system, eliminating the use of city water.]]></description>
