@@thegodlessvulcan but in Transport fever it works with the load. You can built a huge freight station, with trains coming in from all directions droping their loads, and trains going out to all direction taking theese loads. So i don´t think it would be a big deal to programm, that not the goods are unloaded from one train and loaded to another, but instead the wagons are sorted like in a marshalling yard.
Open TTD is long overdue an update imho. Would be great to see it come to xbox in the same way cities skylines has. Perhaps even a new game in which the two games are mixed together
Baily Yard is HUGE. I nearly got lost in there once back in the early 2000's. I drive a truck and was delivering some equipment to the Maintenance facility. Got bad directions at first, had to stop a guy in a pickup truck. He was one of the yard Bosses and he told me they should have given me an escort. lol Lucky for me they have lots of room to turn a tractor/trailer around in. Quite the treat for a Trucker that's also a huge railfan.
I'm from Germany and always when I'm on my way to Hamburg by train I pass the Marshalling yard of Maschen. It's always amazing to see this big area, which consists of so many tracks. Most of the cars there are transporting containers, that are coming from the Container vessels that go to Hamburg.
As things stand, intermodal terminals are now the heart of rail transport, or at least they will become. Here's an idea for a video. The largest intermodal terminals in the world!
With the shortage of long haul truckers and the inherent inefficiency of long haul trucking rail roads should be trying to lure customers back right now
I grew up next to a 'marshalling yard' in a division point on the Union Pacific Railroad in Kansas. I never heard it called a 'classification yard'. We called it 'switching yard'.
Super interesting! I am a shunting planner for a passenger rail operator and it is very interesting to learn how the 'other side' of the network works.
@@chanachon56 to a certain extent. Trains are generally much shorter, but space is also very limited (urban areas). However, I see some of the same logic/puzzle elements in both passenger and freight shunting. Oh and we don't roll our trains down hills ;)
The world is so full of so many things I never knew any thing about. I never stop being amazed. Makes one think how much we consume as humans and how much has to be moved around the world to keep us going. But why do we exist?
Nice to see and recollect the memories of my early days of railway.(1970-90) In India railways have gradually phased out the concept of marshalling yards with the improvement of rolling stocks maintenance which helped to increase wagon turn round drastically. Very few marshalling yards may now be in operation here.
How is that connected to marshaling? Please explain, im really curious! Dont we still need to sort different wagons from one train into different trains?
Nice overview. Note that tank wagons and numerous others have a brakeman stand so a person can ride the wagon as it is rolling down the hump, operating the handbrake to bring it to a standstill at the desired location. That requires more manpower and is done for dangerous goods.
Have you ever tried to apply one of those handbrakes? It takes quite a bit of time, far too long to have any accuracy when it come to stopping one. The stand that you refer to is not for a brakeman, it is to allow access to that area of the wagon, which includes the handbrake. Anyone who rides on a wagon, stands on a small step, which also has specific handles/ grips for that person to hold on to. Also, if a wagon is used for dangerous goods, it is not allowed to run into other wagons, nor have other wagons run into it.
You know it's a good channel, when the monotone voice of someone does not detract you from watching the video at all. It's not about production value, it's about giving interesting info.
@Delta Bravo Even though it's been 40 years since I was in the area, I must agree. I mean, it sure looks like Latah Jct. to me... For those not familiar -- Latah Jct., on the west side of Spokane, is where BNSF lines split/merge -- one leg goes to Seattle, the other goes towards Portland. It's a big railfan location [if one can get to the right spot]
В моем городе есть сортировочная станция. Над ней проложен пешеходный мост до озера. Чтобы пройти по нему нужно полчаса. Летом можно идти и смотреть на поезда. Автоматические тормоза горки издают визг, который разносится на всю округу. Его ни с чем не спутаешь и не забудешь.
As a native Nebraskan, I am glad to see the Bailey Yard is still #1 in the world. Union Pacific finally built a visitor center with a tower to help rail fans observe the operation. Also, if you are interested in history, the people of North Platte established a canteen for troops trains passing through the city that served meals, coffee, candy, and letters home to seven million troops during World War II.
1:10 LMAO! That’s Spokane WA, and that’s my neighborhood on the other side of all those bridges. Out of all places.... lol 😂 Edit: And In the Bailey yard in North Platte, and the rest of North America, there’s no wagons, or we don’t call them wagons, only “freight cars” or “train cars”. In the US we call an old carriage with wooden wheels that is pulled by horses or oxen a “Wagon”. And a radio flyer is called a wagon... and our train cars have Atleast 4 axels, and not 2.
@@calibrazxr750 we call oil petroleum and shorten the specific petroleum product of Gasoline to its truncated gas, you shorten petroleum (a group of products) to petrol. Blame whoever named it gasoline in like the 1800's when is was considered a dangerous byproduct of kerosene production. Honestly it makes more sense than calling it petrol which is basically the same as calling it oil. Granted our education system is terrible so i bet a scary percentage of Americans don't even know that gas is short for something. (I honestly suspect our system is intentionally garbage)
I watched this video the first time and had no idea what was going on because I didn't know what a wage-on was... and then it clicked, he was saying wagon the whole time. Went back and watched it again swapping wage-on for wag-on and it makes perfect sense now 🤣. It's wag, like a dog wags his tail, wagon ✌️🤠
@@RailwaysExplained Samo nastavite ovako, odličan je kanal! Konačno neko ko će da priča o železnici i njenim potencijalima. Nadajmo se da će se i kod nas sve više razvijati ovaj vid saobraćaja, jer ima ogroman potencijal i ima mnogo da se radi. Pozdrav od kolege sa SFa. 👍💯👏😎
I looked it up. you claimed it is called shunting yard in central europe. I searched for the term: it's Rangierbahnhof, at least where I am from. so, which country in central europe calls it shunting yard?
A most interesting video. I'm not sure I understand the difference between a gravity and a hump yard - they seem to be the same. I hope you don't mind, but wagon is not pronounced "way-gon" but "wagg-on".
