Abstract:

This project expands Southern Pacific's CACTUS (Computer Assisted Classification Track Utilization System) computer program to incorporate numerous enhancements and modifications necessary to assist a yardmaster in making real-time track assignment decisions in an actual field trial. The prototype program developed maximizes classification track use and minimizes switch-engine work while producing a simple yard inventory capable of providing a track standing inventory of cars and of moving cars within the inventory.
