Chicago, Rock Island and Pacific's freight terminal at Silvis, Ill, converted from flat switching yard to hump retarder classification yard, will handle classification of 2500 cars daily, or 5000 cars if counted on in-and-out basis, and will pass cars through terminal in average of four hours less time than formerly required by flat switching yard; establishment of new facilities at this point is helpful in relieving congestion and eliminating car delays in other terminals.
