| The southern portion of the Yard consists of 14 rail tracks that make up a classification yard connected to two electric gantry float bridges. Rail's Noranda-North Bay haulage route and CN's North Bay-Toronto route - for rail traffic moving between CN's network in Quebec's Abitibi Region and Toronto for furtherance to points throughout North America - together are approximately 220 miles shorter than the all-CN route via Quebec and allow traffic to avoid a major CN classification yard in Montreal. One of the many classification yards Wayne was responsible for was Conrail's Oak Island Yard, connecting the national rail freight network to NYRR's subsidiary, the New York Cross Harbor Railroad. |
