The Eastbound Wheelhouse is located at which part of the station?

• A. West end of platform D
• B. East end of platform D
• C. Between platforms C and D
• D. In the yard office

Answer: (B)

Understanding directional facilities helps you see why this location makes sense. The Eastbound Wheelhouse is named for the direction of train movements it supports, so it’s placed where staff can directly monitor and control the tracks serving trains moving east. That direct access and visibility come from locating it at the east end of platform D.

If it were at the west end, it would be aligned with the opposing, westbound tracks. Being between platforms C and D would not give a single, clear vantage on the eastbound track segment, and the yard office is a separate administrative area—not a platform-side spot for directing eastbound trains. So the east end of platform D best serves the needs of eastbound operations.
