A COMPUTER FOR YOUR OLD HUMP YARD?

In 1977 Southern Railway decided to replace an old and hard-to-maintain hump control computer with a new control computer system. The new system was developed entirely by Southern Railway employees. Functions of the new system exceeded those of the old, allowing Southern to eliminate two 24-hr positions. System installation was done in phases at Brosnan Yard, Macon, Georgia; the final phase was completed in September 1980.
