[CBQ] Re: Minot, ND Hump Yard

["Chuck Hatler" <gnhistory07@live.com>]

Bill,

Thanks for clarifying what your source of information is on Gavin.  In its 
fully operational day, I recall going past on a passenger train and just being 
“wowed” at the sight of that really long tail track (it seemed like it was at 
least a mile) with switch engines pushing long strings of cars over the hump.  

I did note that the tail track ended.  You could not access the hump from the 
east.  You could only pull a string of cars out of the yard, up the hump, and 
then start pushing back.  That was a time-consuming move, but somebody figured 
out that was the right move at that time for Gavin.
