Marshalling Yards and Train Formation Facilities, including Shunting Facilities

CFR supplies the service of providing access to the SFs related to the marshalling yards and train formation facilities, including shunting facilities, in accordance with Annex II, item 2(c) to Law No. 202/2016.

7.3.4.1. General Information The marshalling yards and train formation facilities, including shunting facilities, and the information on the SFs held by CFR in these yards are set out in Annex 34.a.

7.3.4.2. Services The service of providing access to the marshalling yards and train formation facilities, including shunting facilities, represents one of the basic services (in accordance with Article 3 of EU Regulation 2107/2177), and involves the granting of access of the RU’s shunting trains/convoys to the marshalling or shunting facilities and equipment. The service mainly consists in making the railway infrastructure available to the RUs for carrying out shunting operations for the marshalling of the wagons, for the formation of trains or for the shunting of the wagons or other railway vehicles. The movements related to these operations are carried out in the vast majority of cases by the specialized staff of CFR. The shunting operations as such are carried out by the RUs or other authorized operators. Shunting operation means the set of shunting operations performed by a RU, for a certain purpose (for example: the train shunting operation, the train formation operation, the locomotive introduction/removal

operation in/from the train, the operation for removing a defective wagon from the train, the operation of attaching a group of wagons, etc.), regardless of the number of vehicles in the shunting convoys within the shunting operation. CFR supplies on a transparent and non-discriminatory basis the services in these facilities, including the necessary logistical support (infrastructure, signalling installations, the carrying-out of movements, etc.).

7.3.4.3. Service Facility Description a) The marshalling yards are meant for the processing of the flows of wagons and their distribution (separation) for various destinations. The marshalling yards are set down in Annex No. 2 to GD 581/1998; CFR holds 8 marshalling yards equipped with the specific equipment for the processing of freight trains, such as:

• - at least three groups of specialized lines for receiving, sorting (decomposing) and composing

(forming) and dispatching trains;

• - equipment for the centralized control of the routes (at automated marshalling yards)
• - marshalling humps or inclined planes.
