question

what is the difference to Classification yard? Agathoclea 19:25, 24 March 2006 (UTC)[reply]

A classification yard is a type of rail yard. Other types of rail yards are described in the article. See Rail yard#Freight yards and Rail yard#Coach yards. Caseyjonz (talk) 03:21, 8 June 2009 (UTC)[reply]

Why merge with Classifcation yard? Not the same thing.

Please discuss this topic at Talk:Classification yard. Caseyjonz (talk) 03:21, 8 June 2009 (UTC)[reply]

MERGE THEM

So why not merge them, huh, no answer, so do it!

Welcome to Wikipedia. As was stated directly above, discussion is requested at the other page, Talk:Classification yard. I'll repeat here what was posted on the other page:

A classification yard (marshalling yard) is a type of rail yard. They are not synonymous, as it says in this article. Rail yards may include a classification yard, as well as a receiving yard (arrival yard), departure yard, and/or a repair yard.

So many problems ...

This article contains a lot of irrelevant details, does not explain its topic coherently etc.etc. But rewriting it would be major work ... Just one item: Below the picture of a (German) hump yard, it says "...the photographer is positioned near where cars are decoupled...". This is obviously wrong - there is no grade after that point; the retarders are of course, as is common, situated at the bottom of the hump, not at the top. For examples of what a hump yard looks like and where the retarders are located, see eg. my documentation of an Austrian hump yard from 1987. --User:Haraldmmueller 15:14, 7 October 2016 (UTC)[reply]

Interlan

Is the interlanguage link [[it:Stazione di smistamento]] right? The Italian article is already linked with Classification yard (thought d:Q519608 at WikiData). --5.170.11.152 (talk) 22:01, 13 October 2016 (UTC)[reply]
