Rail Yard Facts

A rail yard is a place where freight cars can be sorted, joined, stored, or prepared for another journey. Railway signals tell train crews whether a section of track is clear and whether they must slow down or stop. Diesel-electric locomotives commonly use a diesel engine to generate electricity for motors that turn the wheels.
