Hello to all,
I am a German rail enthusiast specially interested in hump classification yards of the world. I am the operator of an international multilingual (English, German, French, Italian) YAHOO group about this subject:
http://groups.yahoo.com/group/humpyardgroup
I invite all members of this forum to visit and eventually to join my group for sharing informations about hump yards in the whole world.
In the linklist of my group you will find more then 1.000 links to sites about hump yards and also some flat-shunted freight yards in the whole world; also in countries of which these informations are hard to get like Romania, Ucraine, Russia, China, India and even Iran or North Korea. The links contain photos, orthophotos, maps, track diagrams and descriptions of yards. All links are sorted alphabetically by countries following by the locations (alphabetically sorted by railroad complexes), but please observe that, because it is an international group, there are used the official endonyme instead of English spellings, thus e. g. Spain is to be found under "España"; what concerns the USA you must scroll down to "U" and you will find there lots of stuff, but sorted ONLY by location and not by company due to ownership changements and to the fact that non-US readers may be not confident with the American railroad companies.
Further there I want to post a table with data about the hump yards of the whole world into the group's database (German: Datenbank) which due to technical reasons is only disponible for group members. Actually the database contains these folders:
I. Generalia: Legend, 34-language related dictionary, international related bibliography;
II. Benelux, Alpine and South European countries;
III. France;
IV. Germany;
V. East Europe. (To read with the character set ISO-8859-2 LATIN-2 "Central/East Europe").
Worldwide completion is planned. But for doing this it I need still many informations.
Who can give me please any of the following informations?
I. Locations and further details about the hump yards in:
Sweden, Estonia, Latvia, Lithuania, Belarus, Moldavia, Ukraine, Russia, Azerbaidzan, Georgia, Armenia, Kazakhstan, Uzbekistan, Near and Middle East: Iran etc., Pakistan, India, China, Corea N + S, other Asian countries, Australia, Algeria, Egypt, South Africa, other African countries, Mexico, Chile, Argentina, other Iberoamerican countries.
II. Who knows whether there are any hump yards in any of the following countries? If yes, who knows the locations and further details?
Turkmenistan, Tadzikistan, Kirgisistan, Syria, Iraq, Bangla Desh, Mongolia, Myanmar (ex Birma), Malaysia, Indonesia, Vietnam, Sudan, Senegal, Ivory Coast, Nigeria, Congo DR (others then Kinshasa-Triage), Tanzania, Angola, Zambia, Cuba, BRASILIA!!, all other South American countries.

V. Who knows whether all hump yards in Australia are closed and whether there have ever been any hump yards in Ireland or North Ireland (both today do not have any hump yard)?
If anyone finds any errors in the database any information would be appreciated. Thank you very much in advance for all labour, and now have much fun in your yard researches in my group!
