 Classification yard - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
A classification yard or marshalling yard (including hump yards) is a railroad yard found at some freight train stations, used to separate railroad cars on to one of several tracks.
Most hump yards are single yards with one classification bowl but some, mostly very large, hump yards have two of them, one for each direction, thus are double yards, such as Maschen, Clearing, and Bailey yards.
Typical locations of gravity yards are places where it was difficult to build a hump yard due to the topography.

Even Bailey says he thought he played better in 2000, when he was with Washington and played with certain Hall of Famers Deion Sanders and Darrell Green.
Last season, opponents threw 83 passes Bailey's way and completed 49 of them, 59.0 percent, according to STATS Inc.

The era of yard slugs built by UP came to an end on January 17, 1990 when four-motor slugs S4, S5, S6, and six-motor slug S7 were sold for scrap to Pielet Brothers Metal and Salvage in McCook, Ill., which is better known as the scrapper for old units traded to EMD.
The use of the yard slugs was, and still is, severely limited by their slow acceleration with long and heavy cuts of cars.
