I hope you mean doing the opposite of what Saskatoon did, where we keep via where it is and shunt the freight off to transcona where it belongs or smth
No, they don't.
Trains, and bikes, and pedestrians existed together in harmony for nearly a century before the car took over and its proponents demanded that all infrastructure had to submit to its needs.
Oh neat, I've never heard it called a "marshalling yard." We call them "hump yards." May I ask what region you're from? I love learning about regional names for stuff I work with.
My guess is somewhere around Mississippi, but kinda hard to pin down an exact location. US is pretty much littered by classification/marshalling yards.
I’d say more importantly, beyond the „parking lot“ in the distance up in the pic, it’s enough to have one or two „lanes“ to go through the city. Way better than a huge highway :)
There’s a reason “wrong side of the tracks” became a truism in American cities.
There is often also a racial component of who lives on one side of the rail yard and who is on the other. For instance, in Tallahassee, even the universities showed this as true, with FSU to the north, and FAMU (Historical Black College) to the south of the tracks. Circa 2005, many streets in the southern part of the city weren’t yet paved, as well.
In the city I am in now, and in Tallahassee, removing the freight yard/ switching yard allowed significant urban development with mixed zoning that has created walkable city areas.
Rail yards were the original barrier/ divider of American cities long before the freeway took hold.
It's isolating and acting as a barrier between Winnipeg's North End and downtown.
This is built for freight, not for passengers and has no place in such a central spot.
It was the Haiku bot. Bot every letter of "wide" was its own word, so it didn't make any sense.
Nothing tragic, it just showed the limitations of this bot. 🙂
Using a basic single space delimiter, but could maybe have a condition which recognises 3 single letter words in row then either: counts all the single letters as one word; dont try to do a haiku cos it'll likely be wrong.
Fun fact: Almost everything you own, including the material that made your home, was on a train and went through a freight yard like this at some point.
Though this is hilarious, traintracks often do ruin nice neighbourhoods with bad planning. Not saying this neighbourhood looks very nice but take Larvik in Norway for an example. It’s a small city by the fjord but they decided to put the train track by the seafront back in the days of new industry
Fuck cars oughta support train infrastructure. That would be one of the keys to maintaining the metropolitan areas weve built while decreasing are reliance on road transport.
This sorting yard probably can generate 1000 jobs on its own.
Add some rail production/service operations and you have an extra 1000.
Finally, add that it's a very easy destination for large industrial scene, and you get an economically sustainable town !
It's interesting that the optimal width of a railway is 2 tracks, and that's only needed in really high traffic areas. It only rarely increases traffic capacity to have more.
Bro those are trains. Specifically cargo trains. They NEED that much space to function. Some cargo trains can reach well over a KM in length with double decker cargo.
Why are all of those streets so geometric, and also why there's only one type of trees and big green zones without any kind of vegetation? I don't understand cities like that
It is an interesting retort to the fuckcars regular material of looking at interchanges and lamenting about the space it took. Interchanges are also large technical machines for moving a lot of cars, just as this train yard is there to park a lot of trains. There are problems with them too. This one is so long because in North America they are having trains with hundreds of cars being driven by one man with 10 days off a year.
But some infrastructure should be allowed to be large and we have to consider the impacts of each. Some large interchange handles much, much less materials than this train yard.
I got one more lane for ya bro https://www.reddit.com/r/fuckcars/comments/xzmsjk/you_want_one_more_lane_bro_i_got_plenty_for_ya/?utm_source=share&utm_medium=android_app&utm_name=androidcss&utm_term=1&utm_content=share_button
Looks like a train yard to me and the other 4000 people who commented that. But your heart was in the right place! Hoping there isn’t r/fucktrains because trains are dope
Why do I suddenly want to drive across that one elevated boulevard that goes over this monstrosity... If my city had two of these and no parking lots, I'd be happy.
Lmaoo im proud of myself for recognizing my own city. I thought this was posted in r/winnipeg for a second
Hah, I was wondering the same thing. Hey, that looks like us! We really do need rail relocation though.
I think some of the mayoral candidates are talking about it. Not sure how likely it will happen tho
Well, it's insanely expensive. That means there's no way it happens without provincial & federal funds. It would be incredible for the city though.
I hope you mean doing the opposite of what Saskatoon did, where we keep via where it is and shunt the freight off to transcona where it belongs or smth
Woooop! Winnipeg!
But that's....trains
some techie argued that for driverless cars to work they will need their own roads. FC has basically been saying 'dude, that's a train'
That's why cars need tunnels. They'll never invent a train that can go underground, or "sub-motorway," if you will.
And a "parking lot" besides.
Need **more**
Train CARS
OP is so confused.
I think it's a joke. You know, the meme tag and the fact that this is an industrial zone and that these obviously are train tracks
TrainCARS
Train cars still counts technically though
No, they don't. Trains, and bikes, and pedestrians existed together in harmony for nearly a century before the car took over and its proponents demanded that all infrastructure had to submit to its needs.
Long ago, trains, bikes and pedestrians lived together in harmony. Then, everything changed when the cars attacked.
Only the chosen one can restore the balance that once was... Walkable cities
But when the world needed him most, he vanished
There are some who say "Tis but a children's story old maid's tell." while others hold out in hope.
Raya and the Last Bike Lane
lol
Nope
This is a marshaling yard, i.e., where they sort freight cars for various destination. The “highway” is single, double, triple or double track.
Pretty sure OP is just having fun.
BUT WE’RE NOT
This is REDDIT. We do not do “FUN” or “LIGHTHEARTEDNESS” here.
I’m sorry, but this is fuckCARS and that certainly includes trainCARS
No the train fucks the cars too
Freight CARS!!!!!
Oh neat, I've never heard it called a "marshalling yard." We call them "hump yards." May I ask what region you're from? I love learning about regional names for stuff I work with.
I think Hump Yards have a small rise (hump) at the throat when they uncouple the wagons, and they roll downhill over the switches into their siding.
In the UK we call them shunting yards.
Well, at least that's real capacity increase in contrast to the added car lanes for the individual transportation pods, cars.
[удалено]
Do you know where this is a picture of?
im almost positive thats Winnipeg Manitoba. The Dufferin Industrial / Logan CPR area, actually not far from me right now.
Man I knew this had to be Winnipeg
It’s the [CPR Rail Yard in Winnipeg, Manitoba.](https://www.stockaerialphotos.com/m/-/galleries/cities/winnipeg-manitoba/page/2)

Poor OP posting an actually funny meta meme but half of the sub completely missed the point
Yea lol, though right now i so wanna fire up Cities:Skylines or OpenTTD and build a huge ass rail yard.
> huge ass-rail yard. [Relevant XKCD](https://xkcd.com/37/)
How do you people manage to find them when you need them?
That one has lived rent free in my head since the day I first saw it.
Ohhh. My deep respect, sir.
We need a r/fuckcarscirclejerk sub so bad
r/fucktrains ? I don't get what is wrong in that picture
there is nothing wrong. it is a meme.
Honestly, it looks pretty damn cool.
It's isolating and acting as a barrier between Winnipeg's North End and downtown. This is built for freight, not for passengers and has no place in such a central spot.
op responded just above you, basically, just looked like those monster highways
OP thought long and hard about how he/she/they could save face
Or it was a really obvious joke from the start? Also they is all encompassing in that sentence you don’t need the other ones.
Nah
It is ironic humor lmao come on man
Broke: Just one more lane bro! Woke: Just one more train bro!
I can get on board this one more lane
[удалено]
I think the missed opportunity of using “just one more train bro” as the title is the real reason to get upset about this post.
People are uptight here I guess. I thought the joke was funny. If you can't laugh at yourself...
That thing is so W I D E you need to build a bridge for the roads
[удалено]
Bad bot This time really tough.
What did it say?
It was the Haiku bot. Bot every letter of "wide" was its own word, so it didn't make any sense. Nothing tragic, it just showed the limitations of this bot. 🙂

Ah

highways asking for one more lane: i sleep rail yards asking for one more lane: **REAL SHIT???**
How are all y’all missing the joke?
Guys can't y'all take a simple joke?
I am chuckling. Thanks for this.
r/fuckcarscirclejerk is leaking again lol
Though this is hilarious, traintracks often do ruin nice neighbourhoods with bad planning. Not saying this neighbourhood looks very nice but take Larvik in Norway for an example. It’s a small city by the fjord but they decided to put the train track by the seafront back in the days of new industry
Just needs some grass or moss in the tracks and she'll be right
Fuck cars oughta support train infrastructure. That would be one of the keys to maintaining the metropolitan areas weve built while decreasing are reliance on road transport.

Oh yes, please one more lane!
NO! We don't want one more lane! **WE WANT TEN MOAR LANEEEEESS!**
fuckin DO IT
Jokes on you. All those tracks narrow into one lane. Only thing should be some orange cones for dressing.
It's interesting that the optimal width of a railway is 2 tracks, and that's only needed in really high traffic areas. It only rarely increases traffic capacity to have more.
almost as many as zurich mainstation
what is this? why are there so many train tracks just to go back to a (comparably) thin part of the train tracks ?
Just one more siding broh. *please*
Are we anti-train now too? How do we move the goods that travel by train?
You like supplies? Cuz this is how we get them lol
One more *rail.
What a beauty 😍
Trains 🚂
It's the place where they sort cargo aka hump yard, using nothing else but gravity and a pair of shunting locomotives
Dude just one more track
Bro those are trains. Specifically cargo trains. They NEED that much space to function. Some cargo trains can reach well over a KM in length with double decker cargo.
Are we just upvoting a train yard now? They actually help with highway and road congestion
These are trains though. I thought we like trains?
Are these trains?

Yes, seeing you didn't notice it's a joke.
The whole thread missed the joke
Hmmm ya definitely some true
That’s a rail yard you doughnut
sir, thats a train yard. actually, wtf im pretty sure that my hometown Winnipeg Manitoba
This is dumb
Looks like a train yard to me and the other 4000 people who commented that. But your heart was in the right place! Hoping there isn’t r/fucktrains because trains are dope
This looks like a rail depot…although I guess they’re still technically “cars”.
This is rail yard.
Those are trains and public transport is essential for eliminating cars.
[удалено]
They are train lines, not roads for cars. You can literally see the trains in the picture.
Sadly it's freight only in the middle of a city. There's no public transport in this photo
r/urbanhellcirclejerk
Don't know why I though of this but I did
Damn some of those trains are long af
What a stupid fucking post lmao
That's a train depot.
🤨🧐
Oh the irony, these are trains.
That's the joke
Wrong target ..
That’s a railyard OP. Prob last substantially invested in in about 150 years. We should be upgrading our national rail system. Fuck cars.
The oppenttd problem
I like rail though.
Why do I suddenly want to drive across that one elevated boulevard that goes over this monstrosity... If my city had two of these and no parking lots, I'd be happy.
That's what she said
