12 THE LIBERAL, Richmond Hill, Ontario, Thursday. Complex Keele St. CNR Terminal Will Classify 6,000 Cars Daily The CNR held open house at their partially completed Toronto Yard on Keele Street, south of Maple, May 26. A steady stream of visitors toured the yard by bus all afternoon. Starting at the south end of the yard, just south of No. 7 Highway, the bus drove north, under the highway to the other end of the yard just north of the Langstaff Sideroad. The visitors had pointed out to them the preliminary construc- tion for the administration building, immediately north of No. 7 Highway which will house not only the huge analog computer controlling the operation of the yard, but incorporate as well, a 100-bed hotel for the accommodation of railwaymen. Several control towers were also to be seen, each one vividly painted a different colour. While one group of visitors was touring the grounds, two other groups were received in a railway coach to have the operation of the yard explain- ed to them by means of col- oured slides and a working model. The slides had been taken during the construction and showed various phases of the work - such as the unloading of the 650,000 cubic yards of gravel which have been used to provide proper drainage. Four million cubic yards of earth were moved to level the yard, and the entire site, 1,000 acres in all, has been under- laid with a drainage system. and a model of the administi tion building, the visitors we ushered into the other half the coach where a 20 f4 model of the completed yz had been set up. This mm is in daily use, instructi some key personnel who i already spending all their ti: at the site, observing 1 installation of the huge co plex of equipment which v be their eventual responsib ty.

As each train moves toward the receiving yard, the initials and numbers of every freight car are recorded and checked against the advance list received previously from the train‘s point of origin. A punch card is made for each car, including information as to its content and destination. The engine of the train is sent to the service area on the west side of the yard for inspection and servicing, while a switch engine pilots the train to the hump. The humpl is a small hill over which the cars are pushed. As each car reaches the crest of the hump, the hump foreman pushes a button directing the car to its correct classification track. He receives, by teletype, instruc- tions from operation control in the main administration building, indicating where each car is to go. As each car rolls down the hump, its speed is regulated by an analog computer according to its weight and other factors. There are two tracks over the hump, making Lit possible to classify two trains at the same time. From the classification yard, in the centre of the project, 1the cars are assembled in one ‘of the two departure yards which lie on either side of the ‘yard. The cars are arranged in ', June 13, 1963 the most convenient sequence for easiest distribution. The yardmaster is advised by radio when the train is ready to leave the yard. After checking with the switch tender and the centralized traffic control, permission for departure is given. As the train leaves, a list of its cars and contents is transmitted to its destination. The centralized traffic control system enables one man, the train dispatcher, to line up the switches for the various train move- ments, turning the proper signals green to keep each train moving with the minimum delay to other trains. The CTC buttons at the Toronto yard can con- trol all the switches between Pickering and Burlington, as well as the area from just East of Hamilton through Oak- ville, and the line from Richmond Hill to Toronto.

CTC has been in use by the CN since 1951. with more modern equipment going into use every year. The Toronto yard installation is the world's most modern one. The latest electronic devices synchronize and control all operations and a freight car will spend less than half the time it would spend in a conventional shunt- ing yards 4 On its completion, the yard will employ between 1,000 and 1,500 people. When the expected “pig- gyback” operation is tied in with the rest of the yard, there will be approxi- mately 2,500 people employed on the site. Within the yard itself. there will be 156 miles of track (enough to go from Toronto to Kingston), 13.4 miles of roads, six major bridges and four major buildings. The yard will be able to classify 6,000 cars daily, using 530 track switches“ Communications throughout the yard is provided by seven separate control areas, each equipped with radio, telephone. teletype and talk-back speak- era. The project was started in the spring of 1961 and at the present time. a little more than one-third of the track has been laid. It is expected that, the first test trains will go through the yard in November 1964. All the telephone lines ‘are already attached to the downtown Toronto offices.
