• With over 200 years of innovation and improvement,

train industry managed to grow from its simple “steam

engine” years to the modern enviroment where train

networks encompass entire planet Earth.

Introduction

The fastest train in the world

Shanghai-magnetic train

Comparison different types of transportation

• Costs and Safety

KNTU university of technology

• Green house gases It is clear from Figure that the key challenge to reducing GHG

emissions from freight transportation is to reduce the amount of

emissions from truck transport. At a high level, there are two ways to

accomplish this goal: reduce GHG emissions from trucks or shift more

freight transport to less GHG-intensive forms of transport such as rail.

Modern railways are a green transport alternative when their

infrastructure and trains are heavily utilized.

KNTU university of technology

What’s the best way to travel?

KNTU university of technology

Development of railways in America through out the

history

The first American transcontinental railroad was built in 1869.

KNTU university of technology

• With the development of this railroad, goods from the

international and national ports could easily travel to the

plains and across the country to California. While back then,

the stops were limited, today, there are hundreds of cities to

travel to in the Northeast alone.

New, modern, trains contain cafes, WIFI, and even

sleeping cabins for overnight travel and Comfortable

• Local trains are also available in the bigger cities, such

as the MTA trains in New York City.

MTA trains in New York City

New York

subway opened

111 years ago

and is now the

largest subway

system in North

America bears.

New York subway routes so broad that if they burst, we

will cover the distance between New York and

Chicago. With 21 routes and 468 stations,

approximately 1.7 billion people will travel with this

system.

Take the best urban metros of world • Transport for London's

underground system, the

oldest in the world. The

system was established

in 1863 and The first

electric line in enabled

in 1905 . Trains move

between 207 stations

have an approximate

speed of 20 miles per

hour.

• 2.4 billion people annually visit the Moscow metro that

this issue makes it the Europe's busiest subway system.

Different types of railway station

• Railway stations are classified into the following

categories

Flag station and Halt

Junction Station

Gare

Terminal Station

Marshalling yard

(ایستگاه میانی)

(ایستگاه کاربردی)

(ابر ایستگاه)

(ایستگاه پایانه)

(ایستگاه مانوری)

KNTU university of technology

Wayside station(Flag and Halt)

• Small stations which made in the path of a railway line,

usually in each 15 - 30 km.

• Flag stations describes a stopping point at which trains

stop only on an as-need or request basis; that is, only if

there are passengers to be picked up or dropped off.

• These stations have no overtaking or crossing facilities

and arrangements to control the movement of trains.

• These stations have buildings, staff and telegraph facilities.

Junction station

• The stations where a branch line meets the main line are

known as junction station.

• At a junction stations, lines from three or more directions

meet

Kensal Green Junction,

looking towards Gospel

Oak. To the middle is the

North London line, while

the freight line from

Harlesden JCT on the

WCML converges from

the left, and the

connection from

Willesden JCT low level

joins on the right. The

junction signal can be

glimpsed beyond the road

bridge.

KNTU university of technology

• Arrangements in junction stations

Facilities for interchange of traffic between

main and branch line

Facilities to clean and repair the

compartments of the trains

Facilities for good sidings, engine sheds, turn

table etc.

KNTU university of technology

Gare stations

• Usually gare stations are being built in urban areas and

marinas.

• The design of these stations is very complex.

Shinjuku Station, Japan

KNTU university of technology

• It is a station where a railway line or one of its branches

terminates

• Facilities required in terminal stations

Watering, coaling, cleaning, servicing the engine

Turn table for the change of direction of the engine

Facilities for dealing goods traffic. Such as marshalling yard, engine

sheds, sidings etc.

In circulating area, ticket office, restaurant etc are provided and it is

directly connected to the road

Terminal stations

KNTU university of technology

KNTU university of technology

Marshalling yard

• A marshalling yard is a place where goods trains and other

loads (such as wagons coming in from a nearby goods shed)

are received, sorted out according to a plan, and new trains

formed and dispatched onwards.

• Marshalling yards were indispensable in earlier times, and

were built at all strategic junctions and intersections.

KNTU university of technology

Platforms-Passengers and goods

• A railway platform is a section of pathway, alongside rail tracks

at a railway station and metro station , at which passengers may

board or alight from trains.

• Almost all rail stations have some form of platform, with larger

stations may have many platforms.

Definition of Yard

• An area consisting of a network of railway tracks, sidings, and

sheds for storing, maintaining, and joining engines and

carriages.

• A yard is defined as a system of tracks laid within definite limits

for various purposes such as receiving sorting and dispatch of

vehicles.

KNTU university of technology

Types of yard

Passengers yard

Its function is to provide facilities for safe movements of

passenger. Passenger platforms are also passenger yards.

Goods yard

These are provided for loading and unloading of goods.

Marshalling yard

The main purpose is to isolate, hold and dispatch

wagons to various destinations.

Locomotive yard

Provided for cleaning, repairing, servicing,

watering and oiling etc of locomotives.

• Marshalling yard is a railroad yard found at some freight

train stations, used to separate railroad cars on to one of

several tracks.

• It is the place where goods wagons received from

different centres are sorted out and placed in order to

detached at different stations.

• The marshalling yards are distribution centres

• Empty wagons are also kept in marshalling yards

KNTU university of technology

efficient functioning of marshalling yards

• The efficiency of Marshalling yards is based on these

factors

Shunting operations should not disturb the regular trains

Should be kept parallel to the running trains

Repair facilities should be provided on one or more

sidings

Connected to all important railway stations

Goods yard should be nearer to the marshalling yard

KNTU university of technology

Types of Marshalling types

• There are three common types of that

Flat yard

Gravity yard

Hump yard

KNTU university of technology

Feltham marshalling yard

Flat yards

• Flat yards are constructed on flat ground, or on a

gentle slope. Freight vehicles are pushed by a

locomotive and coast to their required location.

• A flat yard has no hump, and relies on locomotives for

all car movements.

KNTU university of technology

KNTU university of technology

Gillman Yard was built to handle the increase in traffic in 1957 and took

over as the main marshalling yard in the Port Adelaide area from the Port

Dock Station.

Gravity yard • The whole yard is set up on a continuous falling gradient and

there is less use of shunting engines.

• Typical locations of gravity yards are places where it was difficult

to build a hump yard due to the topography.

• Gravity yards also have a very large capacity but they need more

staff than hump yards and thus they are the most uneconomical

classification yards.

KNTU university of technology A model of gravity shunting yard

Hump yard

• These are the largest and most effective classification yards,

with the largest shunting capacity—often several thousand cars a

day.

• The heart of these yards is the hump: a lead track on a hill

(hump) that an engine pushes the cars over.

• Single cars, or some coupled cars in a block, are uncoupled

just before or at the crest of the hump, and roll by gravity onto

their destination tracks.

• A hump yard has a constructed hill, over which freight cars are

shoved by yard locomotives, and then gravity is used to propel

the cars to various sorting tracks
