minus-squarewifemademesignup@lemmy.worldlinkfedilinkarrow-up0·6 days agoNerd time. Hump yards or hump shunting is when they push a rail wagon down a hill and use gravity to push it. Then there are a bunch of switches to go through to make it go into a particular road. It then runs into whatever wagon was already there (and automatically couples together). This impact is very bad for wagon mounted equipment and sensitive cargo. I hate hump shunting. So I agree with this post. DO NOT HUMP.
