Southern Railway's on-line computer system for control of freight car and train movements - 1965 installed and refined over the years - still embodies the original basic design concepts. Large scale integration of design is avoided to facilitate later maintenance and to permit changes required by experience of use and advancing technology to be accomplished at much lower cost. The paper discussing these concepts was presented at 1974 Internat. Symposiom on Railraod Cybernetics in Washington D.C.
