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.

Cited 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.
This article does not amount to an exhaustive list, and may never be complete.
Yards marked with a star (asterisk) may no longer be in use.
The nearest city of 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 per way materials trains and stabling unused stock. Also host a small wagon repair shop used to maintain ore and container wagons.

UK (excluding Northern Ireland): 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.^[1]^[2]^[3] Many have since been closed entirely. Those that remain have been substantially dismantled. All now no longer have hump facilities and instead see only very limited flat-shunting.
