What kind of yard do you want to know about? A flat switching yard or a hump yard? Maybe you can get a yard manual or timecard somewhere. <br /> <br /> In a hump yard the cars a switched into class tracks by the computer controlled by the hump yardmaster.Then the cars are gathered up at the other end of the tracks by a yard crew and marshalled up for outbound trains. <br /> <br /> In flat switching the cars are set off in tracks then the yardmaster gives the crews the lists marked up where the cars are going. Most flat switching is done at secondary yards to service industry. The yard crew will build outbound roadswitcher trains to service local customers.
