"TARGET SHOOTING." MARSHALLING YARD AUTOMATION POSSIBILITIES

G Bernstein

Abstract

Although the DB has installed several large marshalling yards and set up railway centres specially designed to handle containers, a still larger number of medium-sized yards will have to be operated in a more rational way in the future. Target shooting methods of marshalling have been developed for this purpose in France and the GFR, and tests have also been carried out at Offenburg.
