  • Abstract:
    This presentation describes the application of technology in the metamorphosis of ConRail’s Pavonia Yard. Pavonia is the only flat switching yard in North America that employs true one-person remote-control operations, without any assistance from utility field personnel. Moreover, the 1.5-mile-long facility is the only yard that employs wireless GPS devices to monitor all static and mobile assets in real time. The presentation explains how technology is used for improving the productivity and effectiveness of rail yard operations at Pavonia. As a result, the yard now operates with significantly higher productivity, lower safety risks and fewer assets, and meets service requirements with less variability, says longtime Conrail leader Ron Batory.
