List of rail yards

This article is a list of important rail yards in geographical order. These listed may be termed Classification, Freight, Marshalling, Shunting, or Switching yards, which are cultural terms generally meaning the same thing no matter which part of the world's railway traditions originated the term of art.

These are important marshalling yards for the formation of freight/goods trains, and/or with a large volume of traffic, and/or with a very extensive track systems; including classification yards, hump yards, freight handling yards, and intermodal (container) terminals.

Notes

  • Names of the nearest cities etc. are presented in the common usage, and shown first followed by a colon, unless the specific yard name is known (which will be presented in the form native to their country. possibly transliterated)
  • If known, the number of tracks are shown in brackets, with two numbers e.g. (xx + xx) for yards with 'up' and 'down' lines.
  • Yards marked with a star (asterisk) may no longer be in use.
  • The nearest city or town is given first: if the yard has a well known name that differs.

Europe

British Isles

Ireland

Within the Republic of Ireland and Northern Ireland there are no notable marshalling yards still extant. North Wall yard in Dublin is used for loading permanent way materials trains and stabling unused stock. Also host a small wagon repair shop used to maintain ore and container wagons.

Great Britain

British Railways undertook a major programme of investment in marshalling yards in the early 1960s, some of which were arguably obsolete before they even opened.[5][6][7] Many have since been closed entirely. Those that remain have been substantially dismantled. None retain hump facilities and instead see only very limited flat-shunting.

Yards currently in operation

As of 2009[out of date], DB Schenker Rail (UK) operates the following marshalling yards,[8] defined as sites "where trains can be marshalled or re-marshalled using resident pilot locomotives, ground staff and train examination staff".
