rland yards,it was decided to build a classification east-bound hump yard. This yard was com-pleted and put into operation in December,1906. Later a westbound gfravity yard forhandling westbound fast freight was built.This takes care of the classification west-bound and enables us to make up solidtrains to Chicago, St. Louis and other west-ern terminals, without re-switching at divi-sion terminals, much delay thus beingav-erted. The eastbound yard, consisting of 16 re-ceiving tracks and 36 classification tracks,capacity 65 cars each, takes care of all east-bound traffic. This leaves 51 45-car tracksand the westbound hump to take care ofwestbound when all empties and westboundloads are classified and run in solid trains todifferent terminals. The move to Brunswick also closed SandyHook, which was the head center and east-em terminal for the Shenandoah Divisionand Washington County Branch Districts,all of which are now operated from Bruns-wick. 48 Baltimore and Ohio Magazine, July, ig2i
