Abstract:

This report covers the work done during a six-month study of design of hump yards to achieve increased throughput. The basic functions of hump yard operation were analyzed and those factors that limit throughput were studied in detail. A modified yard design and freight car control policy was developed that will make possible the design of a hump yard with throughputs ranging from 300 ft to 500 ft of car/min. An evolutionary hump yard design is outlined to permit initial operation at 300 ft of car/min with the capability of increasing this to 400 or 500 ft of car/min by the addition and relocation of the control retarders.
