To address this need, CSX Transportation developed its Hump Yard Simulation System (HYSS). HYSS considers the operations, process and infrastructure parameters of a hump yard, and their interactions, in a single simulation to evaluate terminal performance.

UPDATE: The numbers behind CSX Transportation’s hump
2017年5月23日 — NEW YORK — CSX Transportation CEO E. Hunter Harrison has said that hump yards can justify their existence only when they classify more than 1,400 to 1,500 cars per day. One glance at the volume levels at CSX’s top 10 terminals shows why the railroad is quickly moving to convert its hump yards to flat-switching facilities: The only hump that ...
Rail Yard Humping Vs Flat-Track Switching: A Tale of Two Yards
2024年3月29日 — You'll see hump operations at the CSX Queensgate Yard in Cincinnati and flat-track switching at Parson's Yard in Columbus. We compare the two and show some of the similarities that enable...
In 1962, C&O upgraded the yard with a dual hump that allowed 2,500 cars a day to be classified. The Walbridge hump yard served the Chessie System and CSXT until circa 1990 when the hump was removed by CSXT due to coal moving in unit trains that did not need reclassification. Today all switching in Wallbridge Yard is flat switching.
