Switching cars equipment from one building to another meant a lot of complex track and extra labor, which increased costs.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eAs a solution, railroads often installed transfer tables. Essentially a mobile deck bridge with rails, the table moved from side to side to quickly reach any track in the facility. The bridge was supported on flanged wheels, and was usually built over a long pit to keep the deck level with the tracks in the various buildings. Horses pulled the earliest examples but these soon gave way to steam-powered cable and rope systems; by the 1890s, large electric motors, drawing power from overhead catenary were in use. This allowed all functions to be controlled by a single operator, riding in a cab on one side of the bridge. Alignment with the tracks was done by eye, and equipment pulled on or off the bridge using a small windlass.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eAlthough the designs have changed with time and many have been retired, there are still some of these amazing machines in use today!\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe focal point of your Shop Facility will be the amazing, operating Transfer Table!
