What is a "railway yard"?
A railway yard is a large area where trains are stored, sorted, or organized. It includes tracks where trains can be parked, and often has facilities for maintenance, loading, and unloading cargo. In a railway yard, trains are arranged for different destinations, and sometimes, they are combined or split to form new trains. Railway yards are essential for managing train traffic and ensuring smooth operations in transporting goods or passengers to various locations. These yards are typically found near major train stations or cargo terminals.
