CORRIDOR 10 - a sustainable way of integrations
3.3. Rail Net Europe (RNE)
RNE was created in January 2004 on the initiative of a number of European railway Infrastructure
Managers and Allocation Bodies, who wished to establish a common, Europe-wide organization.
Together, the current 37 members of RNE are promoting a business approach and harmonizing the
use of rail infrastructure for the benefit of the entire rail industry across Europe [4]. RNE strives to
simplify, harmonize and optimize international rail processes [8] such as:
Europe-wide timetabling,
common marketing & sales approaches,
co-operation between Infrastructure Managers in field of operations,
train information exchange in real time across borders,
after-sales services.
Eleven Pan-European Corridors are defined in frame of RNE. List of these corridors is in Table 1.

Information flyer is available for each corridor. Flyers include information about distances among
important terminals (sections), limits of train length, weight and speed on corridor sections and other
detailed information. Characteristic of terminals are available too. Pictograms show nature of
terminals, e.g. Bi Modal Terminal, Tri Modal Terminal, and Shunting Yard.
4. OVERVIEW OF IMPORTANT MARSHALLING YARDS ON RNE CORRIDORS
We have prepared a table based on information flyers about RNE Corridors (see Table 2). This table
contains list of important marshalling yards on RNE Corridors. We used characteristic „Shunting Yard“
to identify marshalling yard on these corridors. Further we asked Infrastructure Managers for
cooperation to complete list of shunting yards that are in operation and where hump is used for
wagons sorting. Some interesting information was founded during compilation of this table:
most shunting yards due to country area are in Czech Republic – all are equipped by hump,
most shunting yards overall are in Germany,
some large states have few shunting yards equipped by hump – e.g. France, Italy.
