I’ve never visited their layout but according to their website: http://www.wcmrs.org/ they make mention of the Diablo Hump Yard.

  • "Freight Yards: DVL boasts several yards, the largest of which being Diablo Yard. Each yard is operated by independent yard engineers. Some yards, like Diablo, can utilize up to five operators: Arrival, Departure, Engine Facility, Traction and seated outside the yard is the Diablo Hump Yard operator. Arrivals and Departures are ordered by the Dispatchers and the Engineers then contact the appropriate Yard Operator to make the request. Other freight yards include Olympia and Ogden"
