marshalling yard (plural marshalling yards)

A railway yard where trains are assembled from individual carriages or goods wagons.
- 1963 January, G. F. Fiennes, “The "Merry-go-Round" Railway - a new plan for mineral trains”, in Modern Railways, page 20:
  In passing we must glance at marshalling yards. Of course, until the unit of the country's trade is a train-load and not something less than a wagon-load, marshalling yards will continue to be a necessary evil.
- 1963 February, G. M. Kichenside, “The Newport (Mon.) resignalling scheme”, in Modern Railways, page 125:
  Five marshalling yards in the vicinity—Pontypool Road, Rogerstone, Alexandra Dock Junction, East Usk Junction and Severn Tunnel Junction—remarshal much of this traffic into full train loads to destination.
