<p>A high capacity, multiple-stage railway car switching yard connects together two or more subyards as shown in Figure 1. Each subyard has a fully open arrival/departure end (80) and may have a continously descending gradient throughout the entire length of its classifications tracks (55). The subyards are positioned opposite one another, so classification tracks of one subyard can serve as receiving tracks for another subyard. Escape tracks (10a, 10b) are interconnected between the two subyards to provide a higher capacity and more efficiency and flexibility than a single yard by itself.</p> |
