Passenger Trains > 19/20 the last 3 weeks doing much better on the AGS South

Curious if anyone knows why, but they are very rarely getting delayed more than 2 hours anymore. A few have been less than an hour late.

I suspect this excerpt from Trains’ May15 newswire report is at least partially responsible for thee improvement:

BOSTON — Norfolk Southern will reopen the yard hump at DeButts Yard in Chattanooga, Tenn., as it works to ease congestion amid rising traffic volumes, CEO Jim Squires told an investor conference today.

Service has suffered on NS due to congestion on the southern portion of its system, with train speeds down and terminal dwell up significantly compared to last year. The key performance metrics are not rebounding, to the chagrin of both NS and its customers.

Is this an implicit admission that NS shutting that hump yard was a big mistake ?
