 Citico Yard
Southern's use of closed-circuit television at Citico-first such permanent installation by a railway in the South-permits the person on duty in the yard office to read and record the identifying initials and numbers of cars in incoming trains as they pass by TV camera installations at each of the three entrances to the yard.
At the crest of the hump the five-storied yard tower, the office building at its base, and the hump conductor's office (foreground), combine to form Citico's "nerve center" where most of the details pertaining to classification of cars through the yard are handled.
In the soundproof top floor of Southern's Citico yard tower, where much of the work of processing freight cars through the yard is carried on, "window walls" enclosing the office permit a "grandstand" view of carloads of the South's-and the nation's-products of factory, mine and agriculture moving without delay to where they are needed.

Track laying in progress on the upper scenic level, the bit remaining to be done from the point in mid-picture being the US freight yard.
Rolling stock reaches the scenic levels from the fiddle yard by a complete two turn helix of Peco 2nd radius Setrack, representing a 4% gradient which given the length of trains I intend running is just about OK. Above the helix is one of the gradients from the lower scenic level to the upper.

This was followed by a 600V dc third and fourth rail electrification by the District Railway between Whitechapel and Ealing in 1905 later reaching Richmond and Wimbledon followed by the London and North Western Railway to Richmond.
The London and South Western Railway in 1912 adopted a proposal for a 47 mile third rail dc electrification from Waterloo to the Hampton Court and Shepperton branches and the Kingston and Hounslow loops with power supplied from a purpose built power station at Wimbledon.
The position around 1920 therefore was that there were 3 different railway companies—London and South Western Railway, South Eastern and Chatham Railway and the London Brighton and South Coast Railway— with 3 different electrification systems in operation or proposed—660V dc third rail, 3000V dc third and fourth rail and 6666.66V ac overhead.

In the late 1920's, more powerful locomotives were needed to work heavier trains on the Hastings Line of the Southern Railway between Tonbridge Wells and St. Leonards.
The existing two cylinder Southern King Arthur class 4-6-0s, were not acceptable for use on this section, owing to structural clearance problems, so Chief Mechanical Engineer, R.E.L. Maunsell designed a three cylinder 4-4-0 which was based on the King Arthur class and even utilized some King Arthur parts.
Most of the 40 locomotives were built between the years 1930 and 1935 and were named after the well known public schools which were located along the Southern Railways line thus earning the generic name SCHOOLS class.

 QuizLaw: Supreme Court Decision Update - Norfolk Southern Railway Co. v. Sorrell
But most of you don’t need to worry about it much, as it really only applies to cases where there’s a negligence lawsuit between a railroad employee and railroad.
Timothy Sorrell was injured while working for Norfolk Southern Railway Company (he got in a truck accident in 1999, veering off the road and into a ditch).
Well before getting to the meat, Chief Justice Johnny says that Norfolk also wants the Court to say what, exactly, the standard of causation under FELA is. But the Supremes did not grant certiorari to decide what the standard is, they merely granted cert to address whether the standards should be the same.
