What is a "classification yard"?
A classification yard is a type of railway yard where trains are sorted and organized based on their destinations. In this yard, freight cars are separated and grouped together to form new trains, each heading to different locations. The yard uses a system of tracks and often includes special equipment to help move the freight cars onto the correct tracks. Classification yards are important for managing large amounts of freight, ensuring that the right cars are in the right places for efficient transport. They are commonly found in major freight railway systems.
