Construction Moves Ahead At Alfred E. Perlman Yard

• • If you stood in one place for more than five minutes at the Alfred E. Perlman Yard in Selkirk, N.Y., you might have found yourself picked up by a giant crane, or buried by a bull­dozer.

At least that's the way it looked early this spring at the Alfred E. Perl­man Yard, where a 70-track freight car classification yard is being built. This $25 million automatic facility represents the fifth electronically con­trolled yard in the Central's system— and will be one of the most modern in the nation in terms of shipper ser­vice.

Alfred E. Perlman Yard will be the major classification and distribution point for all Central traffic moving to and from the eastern seaboard. It will dramatically speed up operations over the entire New York Central System by reducing the amount of switching required to move traffic; it will speed up the switching that still has to be done.

An advanced-design digital computer will be utilized to automatically log and route inbound cars into various classification tracks, where these cars will be assembled in proper order to ensure quickest delivery to all New

York Central's customers. Eastbound traffic coming into Perl­

man Yard will be automatically clas­sified for trains operating to New York, Weehawken, N.J., Boston, West Albany and to the Boston & Maine connec­tion. This traffic will be grouped to permit direct delivery to all major in­terchange and industrial areas without further switching.

Westbound traffic will be sent to the new yard for classification and dis-patchment to the major western gate­ways or to intermediate points served by the Central. Empty general service equipment will be inspected and graded for service, cleaned and applied to car orders or home-routed from the yard.

MAJOR F A C I L I T I E S

Besides an electronically-controlled hump classification yard. Perlman Yard will have car and diesel repair and servicing facilities. These supporting facilities will make up an integral part of the yard.

Approximately 700 diesel units—or nearly one-half of Central's entire freight fleet—will be maintained at the $3 million diesel shop. This ultra-mod­ern facility will be divided into two parts; a progressive inspection line for

monthly and quarterly inspections, with space for 10 units; and a repair sec­tion having five working tracks with space for 15 units each.

A car repair system designed to handle freight cars on a progressive basis will also be used at Perlman Yard. The working area will be cov­ered by a single-span shed, 120 feet wide and 140 feet long, having a ca­pacity of eight cars. Four repair tracks will be utilized.

In addition, a fueling station will be built for simultaneous fueling and sanding of five diesel units on each of two tracks from a center isle.

An important facility already in operation at Selkirk is a multi-level automobile unloading site. Eight un­loading tracks are being used with ca­pacity for 80 rail cars. Total parking lot capacity is 2,500 assembled vehi­cles.

In 1966, this facility handled 150,323 new vehicles. Completion of Perlman Yard is expected to facilitate already fast-paced schedules for this traffic.

Included in the design of Alfred E. Perlman Yard is a Flexi-Van site for present and future growth in this traffic. Flexi-Van is Central's coordinated rail-highway-water container system,

which grew in volume by more than 20 per cent in 1966.

HOW T H E YARD W I L L WORK

Geographically, Alfred E. Perlman Yard will be divided into three areas: 1. receiving tracks for all inbound

trains; 2. a classification area in line with

the receiving tracks and including the hump and classification tracks, and

3. departure tracks parallel and ad­jacent to the classification tracks.

Inbound trains will arrive in the receiving yard, which will consist of 9 tracks with capacities ranging from 162 to 250 cars each. As the cars enter this yard, they will pass closed circuit TV cameras which will provide

a double check on the actual train consist for the yard office. Here, also, air will be released from the cars in preparation for humping operations.

When the train is to be switched, a hump locomotive will go behind it and shove the train over the hump—a man-made hill 26 feet high. Cars will be uncoupled at the crest and routed auto­matically to their assigned tracks in the classification yard, which is a tear­drop design with deceleration grades.

Each of the 70 tracks in this yard represents a particular destination, and will have capacities for 37 to 71 cars. The classification yard will be divided into seven groups of 10 tracks. An es­cape track will be located on the south side of the yard, providing a route between the classification yard and the receiving yard—bypassing the

hump. Cars from a number of classi­fication tracks will be grouped to build an outbound train.

Cars will be removed from the clas­sification tracks by pull-out engines and sent to the departure yard, which will consist of 9 tracks with capacities rang­ing from 147 to 250 cars. A fully made-up outbound train will leave the departure yard after the air hoses have been coupled, the train and brakes in­spected and an outbound consist pre­pared by the yard office.

C Y B E R N E T I C CONTROL SYSTEMS

The main control center for the en­tire yard operation will be the yard-master's and terminal trainmaster's tower, located at the east end. The display console located here will in­dicate the status of the receiving and

C r e s t T o w e r

4 New York Central Headlight

departure yards, as well as anticipated train arrivals and departures. A fac­simile transmission system will be pro­vided between the tower and the hump yard office.

The control system for Perlman Yard will incorporate a stored program digi­tal computer to provide automatic hump operation, to perform routine clerical functions and to provide vital management information. This high speed computer will serve as the hub of the Alfred E. Perlman Yard opera­tions. It will also be linked to Cen­tral's system-wide computers.

The computer will receive inputs— both digital and analog—and interroga­tions by a variety of means. These in­clude punched cards, typewriters and special interrogation buttons. In addi­tion, information from radar speed controls, car weight detectors, the car rollability detectipn system, switch po­sition detectors, etc., will flow into the computer from various car handling points.

Besides controlling the routing and rolling speeds of the cars, the com­puter will indicate proper humping speeds directly to the locomotive cabs. Speeds will be displaced digitally in miles per hour, and will be calculated to prevent "catchups"—or one car im­properly combining with another while rolling down the hump.

In other words, the computer will determine the proper track for the car to go on, recognize all variables and then automatically flash the proper humping speed to the engineman.

An important feature of the control system will be the keeping of a car inventory for each classification track. The computer will track each car from the hump crest to the classification track. When the car enters the track, the initial and number of the car will be entered into the track's inventory. Any cars that have entered a track in error, or which must be switched due to route changes, will be flagged by this means.

Extensive use will be made of radio, television and telephone communica­tions in Alfred E. Perlman Yard's con­trol system. A total of 12 radio systems will be provided—including train radio and general yard frequen­cies, four pullback track frequencies, plus a cab signal system.

Six closed circuit television systems will also be provided. Three of these will be used to check car numbers on inbound trains and will be equipped with video recorders so that a clerk need not be present when a train is being received in the yard.

As the inbound train passes the TV camera station, a recording automati­

cally will be made. The clerk can then play back the TV record—and stop motion to double check a car number.

Direct-dial telephones will be pro­vided at a number of key points in the yard, in addition to the normal office locations, intercom facilities will be provided for all key supervisory and operating personnel for direct com­munication.

HOW T H E YARD W I L L B E N E F I T S H I P P E R S

Alfred E. Perlman Yard, with its electronic automation, extensive com­munication facilities, 70 classification tracks and well-planned receiving and departure yards, will benefit shippers in many ways. For example, it will eliminate time-consuming, separate handling of cars in two smaller old yards at DeWitt, near Syracuse, and Selkirk. It will also streamline switch­ing and handling of traffic at Wee-hawken and 72nd Street Yards in the

New York City metropolitan complex. Nothing has been overlooked that

will speed freight movements. The de­sign of each element of the yard is based on an exhaustive study of the traffic to be handled and is tailored to the rush hour requirements of that traffic. At Alfred E. Perlman Yard, the Central will classify, or sort out, the cars from all incoming trains to make up new trains of cars that have a common routing for the next part of their trip. Thus freight trains will run at fast, regular schedules—and shipments will arrive sooner.

Alfred E. Perlman Yard is another investment in the Central's continuing program to provide superior service to its shippers. This multi-million dol­lar facility will give customers faster-moving freight, more dependable freight schedules and car handling that will protect even the most fragile lading. •

safety at railroad

By Farwell C. Rhodes, Jr.

• • Safety saturation. That's the best way to describe cam­

paigns waged recently by the New York Central for railroad crossing safety in two Ohio Central Division cities, Galion, O. and Muncie, Ind.

All the tools, techniques and fervor of an old fashioned political campaign —speeches, press releases, radio and television talks, posters, meetings with officials, public exhibitions and sou­venirs—were utilized to create public awareness of the need of crossing safety.

In both cities, NYC sponsored track-side exhibits of an engine and caboose to dramatize the campaigns. Approxi­mately 3,000 school children and 500 adults inspected the equipment at Galion, approximately 1,000 persons visited the exhibit at Muncie. New York Central safety pencils were dis­tributed as souvenirs and children got a bonus gift, a copy of "Dangerous Playground," Association of American Railroads booklet which emphasizes the dangers of playing on railroad tracks and near rail yards.

In both cities, NYC received all-out cooperation of local officials and press and radio-TV in "selling" the rail-high­way safety theme.

New York Central officials who spearheaded the two campaigns included Ohio Central Division Superintendent Robert J. Slater and Southern District Safety Supervisor Harold C. Ekstam.

Muncie particularly was fertile ter­ritory for New York Centrals safety drive, since there are 26 NYC grade crossings in that city and an additional 24 in Delaware County, outside the city.

NYC's Muncie campaign was timed to coincide with Delaware County's official observance of Rail-Vehicle Safety Month. The observance was sponsored coperatively by New York Central, the Delaware County Safety Council and the Kiwanis Clubs of Mun­cie. Local coordinator for the program was Dave Smith, Chairman of the Safety Council.

County Safety Council, is briefed on the interior of a New York Central diesel engine cab by NYC Southern District Safety Supervisor Harold C. Ekstam.

The Muncie campaign got valuable assists from the Muncie Press and Tele­vision Station WLBC. Press Reporter Larry Field took a locomotive cab ride on the NYC and wrote of the perils encountered by engine crews with er­rant motorists who try to "beat" trains over crossings and with teen-agers who flirt with death by playing "chicken" at crossings. This same subject was covered for television viewers by News­caster Jim Nickerson and Rita Winters of WLBC, who also took New York Central cab ride.

At Galion, the program was officially endorsed by Mayor Paul Willhelm and his city administration. Cooperation was received from Safety Director Ron Moore Bowers and School Superin­tendent Bernard Hill.

Both cities were placarded with pos­ters calling attention to the crossing safety theme and New York Central's cooperative attitude in working with local officials. •

NYC KEEPS

ON MOTIVE POWER AND TRAINS ON THE MOVE

NEW YORK CENTRAL'S new magnetic Operations Control Board enables it to keep a 24-hour "eye" on approximately 1,800 diesel freight engines and 400 "pool" cabooses deployed throughout the 10,000-mile system.

New York Central's new magnetic Operations Control Board enables it to keep a 24-hour "eye" on approximately 1,800 diesel freight engines and 400 "pool" cabooses deployed throughout the 10,000-mile system. Freight loco­motive requirements for trains on-line and in yards are determined 24 hours in advance of operations.

'This up-to-the-minute, seven-day-per-week, facility provides a visual pic­ture on the location of all NYC power and trains as well as an opportunity to move freight even more efficiently," John C. Kenefick, Central's Vice Pres­ident-Operation, says "In effect, our customers are getting better service through increased utilization of our motive power fleet."

Mr. Kenefick says that use of the control board permits the Central to "pin-point power needs and provide

immediate distribution solutions." Designed and installed by New York

Central's Industrial Engineers, the mag­netic control board consists of curved metal panels forming a 27 by 5-foot surface which contains a straight line map of the New York Central System.

Color-coded magnets are used to de­note various horse power ranges of diesels, train symbols and foreign line locomotives. Additional information as required is written on the plastic face of the magnet and can be easily erased.

The magnets come in five colors: white for non-cycled units, 1500 to 1800 horsepower; yellow for cycled units, 2,000 to 3,000 horsepower; orange for train symbols; red for "pool" cabooses; and beige for foreign locomotives on the Central.

Distributors at the control board are in constant communication with dis­patchers throughout Central's system via NYC's Tele Central telephone net­work.

Based on current train information, the magnets are moved from train origin to train destination or breakup point. While an inbound train is still enroute, the distributors are able to determine the next assignment of spe­cific diesel units.

For those engines that are in repair shops, information regarding the rea­son for shop repair, the date in and the scheduled date out is written on the magnets.

New York Central is now consider­ing the use of electronics as a further refinement in the magnetic Operations Control Board to provide an even bet­ter system for power control. •

N e w Book Recalls D a y s o f N Y C ' s E a r l y P o w e r (1831-1916)

Among the dozens of new books on railroad subjects published each year, one occasionally appears of spe­cial interest and significance to readers particularly interested in New York Central. Such is the case with a re­cently published volume entitled "New York Central's Early Power (1831-1916)," by Alvin Staufer.

The book contains 352 pages and over 800 photographs and drawings, four of which are in full color.

In 1961 the author published his first volume on New York Central's loco­motives. That book covered NYC power from 1916 to 1957.

After six years of research and end­less hunting for old photos and prints, this second volume is ready. Anyone interested in recapturing a little of the smell of smoke as it once blew across New York Central will thoroughly en­joy this book.
