Beellevue Yard, Ohio.

 In 2012 Norfolk Southern began a $160 million project to expand its Bellevue rail yard in Northern Ohio that doubled the yard's capacity. The Bellevue Yard was built in 1966 by Norfolk and Western Railway after it purchased the Nickel Plate. When the yard was built by N&W, as area was left for future expansion. The 2012 project added 38 new tracks, bringing the total number of classification tracks to 80. When NS announced the yard's expansion in 2012 it said the project would add 275 jobs in Bellevue. The expansion made then-Bellevue Yard the largest on NS's 20,000-mile network and second largest in North America, with a daily sorting capacity of 3,600 freight cars.

With the implementation of Precision Scheduled Railroading (PSR), Norfolk Southern mothballed half of Moorman Yard idled the yard's hump and begin flat switching rail cars. The original NS plan was to consolidate hump yard classification at Bellevue, and downgrade the yards in Elkhart, Indiana and Conway, Pennsylvania. Today, the only active NS hump yards are in Birmingham (AL), Chattanooga, Conway, and Elkhart. The other hump yards have been converted to "flat switching". In flat switching, railcars are shifted from one track to another directly by locomotive crews. Block swapping, in which groups of cars are handed off from one train to another without being switched, would continue to occur at Bellevue. Some switching activity would be moved from Bellevue to other railyards, including NS facilities in Cleveland and Toledo.
