Bernie Feltman General By the time they make all the cuts and tie brakes, they could easily reach each other's respective yards and make deliveries. Isn't great uitilization of rolling stock or yards 3/14/2014 7:26:22 AM
William H. Davis Jr. General At one time BNSF used to take their interchange to Norris Yard, they started interchanging at North Yard since it was closer to BNSF'S Yard, they used to never make it back before running out of time & even now they run out of time occasionally due to the heavy train traffic on both NS & CSXT through Birmingham 3/14/2014 8:47:31 AM
