SP= TRAIN FORMATION AT CHERNOVTSY -- Pravda Ubainy, No 179, "0 Jul 48
Freight turnover Sn the Chernovtay station is increasing day by day.
Limitations, however, In yard trackage have created difficulties in rrndling
the trains and have delayed the formation and reforming of trains. A new
method is to accelerate train formation.
The originator of the new method, Dmitriy Kolpakov, builds up his trains
without the switching bump and long sidings. He simultaneously directs the
formation of two or three trains. This enables him to form 20 or more trains
per shift instead of the stipulated 14. Kolpakov has succeeded in forming
heavy 78-oar trains, weighing 2,230 tons, in the extremely short time of 55
minutes. Him innovation is now being successfully applied at many stations
of the Lvov railroad line. ^
