In the Netherlands, there are more than 100 railway marshalling yards. These marshalling yards often lie in highly populated areas such as the centre of a big town. Many things take place in a marshalling yard, such as shunting, cleaning, maintenance, carrying out small repairs and warming up diesel trains. All of these activities can lead to noise pollution of the immediate neighbourhood.

IPG-Rail is carrying out a number of projects to test how you can carry out the work done in a marshalling yard more efficiently so that trains have to be driven back and forth less often. For example, by carrying out maintenance simultaneously or parking a train next to the platform after its last journey instead of driving it to the marshalling yard.
