• Abstract:
  One of the major problems at the East Deerfield railroad yard is that the mainline goes through the middle of the yard, thus creating a substantial number of mainline crossing movements between one side of the yard and the other. The purpose of this short working note is to document the alternatives considered in the mainline relocation study process. After considering the strengths and weaknesses of the two alternatives, it has been determined that Alternative II, which eliminates all the mainline crossing movements, is preferable to Alternative I which does not eliminate all the conflicting yard and mainline movements.
