- Der MacMillan Yard ist ein Rangierbahnhof der Canadian National Railway (CN) in Vaughan, Ontario. Er liegt etwa 20 Kilometer nördlich des Stadtzentrums von Toronto und erstreckt sich über sechs Kilometer in Nord-Süd-Richtung. Der aus zwei Flachbahnhöfen bestehende Toronto Yard wurde Mitte der 1960er Jahre erbaut (seit 1975 MacMillan Yard) und in den 1990er Jahren mit ferngesteuerten Rangierlokomotiven und Gleisbremsen nahezu vollautomatisiert. Er ist der größte Rangierbahnhof im Netz der CN mit einer täglichen Kapazität von 3.000 Güterwagen. (de)
- The MacMillan Yard is the 2nd largest rail classification yard in Canada, after CN's Symington Yard in Winnipeg. It is operated by Canadian National Railway (CN) and is located in Vaughan, Ontario. It was originally opened in 1965 as Toronto Yard, but was renamed MacMillan Yard in 1975 after former CN president Norman John MacMillan. MacMillan Yard is located at the junction of the CN York Subdivision and CN Halton Subdivision. The yard measures approximately 3 kilometres in length and 1 kilometre in width, with a north–south orientation. The property is bordered by four main roads:
* Highway 7 (York Regional Road 7) to the south
* Keele Street to the east
* Rutherford Road (Regional Road 73) to the north
* Creditstone Road to the west There are five road entrances into the yard which are designated as: S Yard, Jane Street, CargoFlo, Bowes, and Administration. Much of the yard is composed of side-by-side track, switches, humps, and control tower buildings. The yard is designed to take incoming trains and reorganize and rejoin the individual cars based on destination to create new departing trains. The yard operates 24 hours a day and handles over 1 million cars (loads and empties) per year. It has flat switching capability as well as both dual and single humps. In addition to car handling, other yard facilities include locomotive repair, car washing, and car repair. In one part of the yard, a CargoFlo terminal is used for transferring flowable bulk, dry bulk (plastics) commodities between rail cars to tanker trucks, as well as a small intermodal and RoadRailer operation. The yard was developed in the late 1950s as part of CN's redesign of its Toronto trackage network. At the time of construction, Vaughan was a largely rural community; however, subsequent development on adjacent properties has created an industrial area surrounded by a variety of industrial consignors, distributors, and suppliers. Some commercial establishments (e.g., restaurants, retail and wholesale outlets) are located along the perimeter of the yard. Several York Region Transit routes, including Viva Orange, operate in the vicinity of the yard; most connect to the Toronto–York Spadina subway extension, but one connects to Rutherford GO Station The closest residential population to a track that carries dangerous goods is located approximately 150 meters from the northernmost extension of the yard near Jane Street. At the southern end of the yard, where several rail lines merge, Highway 7 provides a road bridge. Highway 407 also bridges the southern entry point to MacMillan Yard; all trains enter and exit by way of southern end. Rutherford Road passes over the hump pullback tracks at the north end of the yard. (en)
