Freight yard

A freight yard is a designated area where freight trains are assembled, disassembled, and organized. It functions as a logistical hub where cargo is transferred between trains, trucks, or ships. The yard typically has multiple tracks to facilitate sorting, loading, and unloading containers or goods efficiently. It ensures that freight is correctly routed and timed for delivery, playing a crucial role in supply chain management. Overall, a freight yard helps streamline the movement of goods by providing a central location for handling and transferring cargo in rail transportation.
