<p>Add <a href="Ops_Locations.shtml">Location as Yards</a> and the <strong>Add

|

<p><br>
|
|
To add a Location as a Yard, in the <strong>Add Location</strong> window, type the
|
|
<strong>Name</strong> <input name="textfield" id="textfield" type="text"> of the Yard
|
|
Location; note most of the window is greyed out until the location is added. The Location
|
|
Name must be unique; the program will not allow two Locations with identical names. However,
|
|
if you want more than one Location to have the same name for your Manifests and Switch Lists,
|
|
add a hyphen and a number to the Locations Name. For example, "Boston-1" and "Boston-2" will
|
|
print as "Boston". The program will remove the hyphen and number when printing manifests and
|
|
switch lists.</p>

<p>Select <strong>Operations (Tracks) at this location</strong> <input name="radio" id=

|
|
|
|
<p>A <strong>classification yard</strong> (US and Canada) or <strong>marshalling
|
|
yard</strong> (UK and Canada)(including <strong>hump yards</strong>) is a railroad yard found
|
|
at some freight stations, used to separate railroad cars on to one of several tracks. First
|
|
the cars are taken to a track, sometimes called a <strong>lead</strong> or a
|
|
<strong>drill</strong>. From there the cars are sent through a series of switches called a
|
|
<strong>ladder</strong> onto the classification tracks. Larger yards tend to put the lead on
|
|
an artificially built hill called a <strong>hump</strong> to use the force of gravity to
|
|
propel the cars through the ladder.</p>
|
|
|
|
<p>Freight trains that consist of isolated cars must be made into trains and divided
|
|
according to their destinations. Thus the cars must be shunted several times along their
|
|
route in contrast to a unit train, which carries, for example, automobiles from the plant to
|
|
a port or coal from a mine to the power plant. This shunting is done partly at the starting
|
|
and final destinations and partly (for long-distance-hauling) in classification yards.</p>

<h3>Creating the Yard Tracks</h3>
