question

what is the difference to Classification yard? Agathoclea 19:25, 24 March 2006 (UTC)[reply]

A classification yard is a type of rail yard. Other types of rail yards are described in the article. See Rail yard#Freight yards and Rail yard#Coach yards. Caseyjonz (talk) 03:21, 8 June 2009 (UTC)[reply]

Why merge with Classifcation yard? Not the same thing.

Please discuss this topic at Talk:Classification yard. Caseyjonz (talk) 03:21, 8 June 2009 (UTC)[reply]

MERGE THEM

So why not merge them, huh, no answer, so do it!

Welcome to Wikipedia. As was stated directly above, discussion is requested at the other page, Talk:Classification yard. I'll repeat here what was posted on the other page:

A classification yard (marshalling yard) is a type of rail yard. They are not synonymous, as it says in this article. Rail yards may include a classification yard, as well as a receiving yard (arrival yard), departure yard, and/or a repair yard.

So many problems ...

This article contains a lot of irrelevant details, does not explain its topic coherently etc.etc. But rewriting it would be major work ... Just one item: Below the picture of a (German) hump yard, it says "...the photographer is positioned near where cars are decoupled...". This is obviously wrong - there is no grade after that point; the retarders are of course, as is common, situated at the bottom of the hump, not at the top. For examples of what a hump yard looks like and where the retarders are located, see eg. my documentation of an Austrian hump yard from 1987. --User:Haraldmmueller 15:14, 7 October 2016 (UTC)[reply]

Italian interlanguage link

Is the interlanguage link [[it:Stazione di smistamento]] right? The Italian article is already linked with Classification yard (thought d:Q519608 at WikiData). --5.170.11.152 (talk) 22:01, 13 October 2016 (UTC)[reply]

The interlanguage links are a mess

@Bermicourt: See Talk:Classification yard##Interlanguage links are a mess and Talk:Rail yard#Italian interlanguage link Peter Horn User talk 15:46, 23 February 2022 (UTC)[reply]

@Peter Horn: That's because they are two separate but related topics. The terms 'railway/railroad/rail yard' or just 'yard' are a generic for a set of sidings and 'marshalling/classification yard' is a sub-type along with departure yard, gravity/hump yard, flat yard, switching/shunting yard, freight yard and receiving yard. The IFEV (Institute of Railway systems Engineering and Traffic Safety) definition of a 'yard' is "an arrangement of tracks, other than main tracks, used for making up trains, storing cars and trains and other purposes," whereas a 'classification yard' is "a freight yard in which incoming cars are classified for new train destinations," (IFEV) and a 'marshalling yard' is "a set of fixed intallations of the national rail network (groups of specialised tracks, wagon splitting installations, braking and retarding devices, etc) dedicated to sorting the wagons of freight trains in a specialised yard" (RFF (French Rail Network) National Rail Network Statement). So I may be able to sort out the existing mess on that basis. Longer term it would be good to align with the UIC terminology since that is universal and not regional, but their full glossary is expensive to obtain.

merge Stabling Point into Rail Yard?

I think it would be a good idea to merge Stabling point into Rail Yards since the info in stabling points could be helpful to rail yards as well as stabling points is very much a stub. I Like The british Rail Class 483 (talk) 06:48, 24 April 2023 (UTC)[reply]

Yes to merge Stabling point into rail yard because they would be much better hand in hand rather than on two separate articles. 78.32.74.106 (talk) 10:09, 25 April 2023 (UTC)[reply]
