A railway yard is a designated area where trains are stored, maintained, and organized. It typically includes tracks, switches, and facilities for loading and unloading cargo. Railway yards play a crucial role in managing train operations, allowing for the efficient movement of freight and passenger trains. In a railway yard, trains can be assembled into longer trains or broken down into smaller ones. Workers in the yard ensure that trains are in good condition and ready for service. This area is essential for the overall functioning of the railway system, helping to keep schedules on track and maintain safety standards.
