Thus, the current research is aimed to reduce the amount of noise, mainly when trains exit a tunnel.
During the peak, only 18 trains per hour can enter and exit.
The trains exit the track element facing the same direction as they entered, unlike a cobra roll in which the trains get turned around 180 .
This was required by the very confined layout of the station, but was against the rules when the express train had not exited from the tunnel.
This requires trains to exit the station in the same direction from which they entered.
Once the train has safely exited the mid-course brake run the train goes downhill into an underground tunnel.
Northbound trains can enter and exit the yard via the cross tracks on the North and South side of the Junction.
Redondo Beach bound trains (Southbound) may enter and exit the Yard to continue south.
Additionally, freight trains still use the through tracks, and post office trains enter and exit the underground postal station.
On the S-turn where the main ride track meets up with the storage track, the trains no longer exit into daylight right away.
