CORRIDOR 10 - a sustainable way of integrations
on the Corridor's axis and they create direct single or multigroup trains to other main marshalling yards
on the Corridor. Villach Süd (Austria) and core marshalling yards of former Yugoslav Railway
(Ljubljana Zalog, Zagreb RK, Beograd Ranžirna, Skopje Trubarevo) present main marshalling yards
on Corridor X. All these main marshalling yards are designed as hump yards with high capacity for
wagon classification. Each yard has a hump equipped with two tracks for wagons rolling in a
classification bowl. It should be emphasized that on the corridor main axis is located and marshalling
yard Vinkovci. Vinkovci yard is a multiple yard with two separate yards for up and down direction.
Vinkovci was the busiest marshalling yard of the former Yugoslavia and one of the largest in Central
and Southeastern Europe. In last decades number of trains for formation in this yard has been
decreased drastically. For that reason Vinkovci lost it’s place in the region marshalling network and is
currently out of service.
Satellite yard works additional distribution and arrangement of wagons for main yard's catchment area.
On this Corridor five flat yards have the role of satellite yards.

Salzburg Gnigl presents a strategic node for Corridor X because it is situated on TEN-T Priority Axis
17 [7] . This priority railway axis will provide a continuous rail axis for both passengers and freight from
Paris to Bratislava. Benefit of this connection is in the fact that today over half of the rail-freight traffic,
on several sections of the Axis, is between Member States, and volumes will grow further following
enlargement. Also Salzburg is situated on RNE Corridor 4. This node will improve access to and from
the many conurbations along TEN-T Axis and RNE Corridor to Corridor X. Villach Süd, Graz and
Ljubljana Zalog, are proposed for terminals on RNE Corridor 7. Villach Süd marshalling yard has the
highest potential in view of position within the intersection of important railway axes. This yard could
evolve in a huge hub and a link to international transport systems. Also and other bound yards are
promoted for nodes on RNE Network. Ferencváros, Poduene and Dialogi are backbone marshalling
yards on RNE Corridor 9. This Corridor allows connections between the Baltic Sea, the Aegean Sea
and the Black Sea.
