Hump (gravity) classification yard, named for Albany, Georgia native, and legendary Southern Railroad president, D. W. Brosnan. Widely known for firing employees, "sleeping on it", then re-hiring said terminees, shortly thereafter. Some have suggested that living above the Albany firehouse(his father was Fire Chief) and not getting good rest, led to his quixotic mannerisms.
