| Track maintenance has been reduced
by the use of continuous welded rail and
greater safety is provided by spacing the track 13.5 feet center to center.
When the yard is fully completed
a track passing underneath both humps will
connect both sides of the yard. This will expedite handling of cars to
be returned in the direction from which they arrived.
At the south end of the yard,
along the Ohio River, are the river-rail transfer
facilities where coal is loaded on to cars from barges.
