Rangierbahnhof, Railway sorting station in Nuremberg, Germany
The Nuremberg Rangierbahnhof functions as a large single-sided incline freight station, processing over 100 trains daily across 40 different destinations.
Built between 1897 and 1903, the station emerged from the need to handle increasing freight volumes, which grew from 250,000 to 1.85 million tons.
The station represents a milestone in German railway engineering, featuring specialized equipment such as retractable bumpers and automated braking systems.
The facility connects seven major railway lines, enabling efficient separation of passenger and freight transportation through its strategic location outside central Nuremberg.
The station utilizes a gravity-assisted system where the natural gradient helps move wagons through different sorting tracks.
