A Marshalling Yard is a railway facility equipped with tracks with special layout and technical facilities, where sorting, formation and splitting-up of trains takes place; wagons are sorted for a variety of destinations, using a number of rail tracks. There are 3 types of marshalling yards: flat-shunted yards, hump yards and gravity yards (source: RNE glossary).
The marshalling yards are generally operated by the IM and should be therefore accessible for any RU with their services. Due to significant costs and complexity, however, the actual access is usually limited (not restricted) to the largest RUs.
Relationships:
• Marshalling Yard is a type of station which in turn is type of node.
• Marshalling Yard is operated by the infrastructure manager
• Marshalling Yard provides marshalling services to the RU(s).
