The yard in the town I live in used to be an 8 mile hump yard, but has since been removed by CSX. i kind of understand how it worked. the train is run up the hump, the tracks are switched, and the car glides into the new train. Depending on how many trains a day come in, the new train could leave within the day, or within the week. The trains are set to stop at differant yards along to their destination. when they would come to a new ard, the train would be re-sorted onto trains to differant sorting yards, or to the final delivery destination, kind of like using differant size grids to seperate stone sizes.
