CSX Transportation preparing to re-open hump at Radnor Yard in Nashville
 |
| CSX Corp from Trains |
"The hump was idled in July 2017 as part of the broad operational changes made by then-CEO E. Hunter Harrison, who converted eight of CSX’s 12 hump yards to flat-switching facilities last year....In 2016, Radnor was CSX’s third-busiest hump – behind only Waycross, Ga., and Selkirk, N.Y. — as it classified an average of 1,477 cars per day. That’s within the range that Harrison said was sufficient volume to justify the operating costs and capital expense of a hump yard....Radnor will be the second reversal of a hump closure at CSX. The hump was idled at Avon Yard outside Indianapolis in early August, then reopened by the end of the month as CSX experienced widespread congestion and service problems due to the rapid rollout of Harrison’s Precision Scheduled Railroading operating model."

Read this article beyond the obvious reopening of Radnor Yard.
Nashville seemed surprised that CSX wasn't immediately receptive to the idea of shutting down the core of their network operations and turning three of their main lines into commuter rail transit routes.
Maxwell Crosby That’s CSX for you.Nashville seemed surprised that CSX wasn't immediately receptive to the idea of shutting down the core of their network operations and turning three of their main lines into commuter rail transit routes.
Ted Gregory Agreed Maxwell.
I know they tried to close down a yard in Toledo (Stanley?) on at least two occasions and had to reopen it.
