Diskussion:Bangård

message: Unfortunately I do not speak Swedish so that I do not understand this article, but it seems for me that its title ”bangård” in relation to the wikilinks  into the German, French, Italian, Dutch, Romanian and Spanish articles is wrong because in relation to the title probably here is described generally what is called in English: (railroad/railway) yard, in Dutch: emplacement or in Polish: stacja and not  hump/marshalling/classification yards (Dutch:  rangeerterrein, Polish: stacja rozrządowa ) themselves which are described in the other wikilinks and which as far as I know in Swedish are called rangerbangård (I invite you to have a look into my international hump yard-related dictionary in the German Wiktionary:  ). The technical terms to railway stations, yards and terminals often are difficult to distinguish in various languages because otherwise then in Swedish in various languages such e. g. in German, French or Italian there is no distinction between at one time in English and Dutch: "station" or in Polish: "dworzec"; and "yard" (English), "emplacement" (Dutch) or "stacja" (Polish): these three all mean in German, French and Italian only: "Bahnhof", "gare" resp. "stazione".
Thus I ask you please to excuse to have written that in English, and to check the complete terminology and eventually to correct the title or the contents of this article so that it correspondents to each wikilink in other languages and nobody who clicks from the article on hump yards in the German, French, Italian, Dutch, Romanian or Spanish Wikipedia into this Swedish article hoping to find informations on hump yards without success because the article describes only generally a (railroad/railway) yard including passenger coach, freight or intermodal yards.

replies: text: Thanks for commenting this. I try to sort up some of your issues:

text: The word bangård is I believe, a literal translation from the german Bahnhof - which in german corresponds to railway station (the manor of the railway). But in swedish it has got the different meaning rail yard, the area where cars are parked or re-routed to new trains. Yet, the bangård is subset of a railway station.

text: Then the train yards may be of different types. They may be simple extensions of railway stations used for parking cars and simple couplings of cars. They may also be large specialised yards for rearranging incoming goods trains to other outgoing trains for different destinations - in swedish "rangerbangård" from the french verb "ranger" similar to re-arrange in english. Those in turn can be of the hump yard type, which we call "rangerbangård med vallväxling" where "vall" is an old word for a hump.

text: When I write articles I have the habit to test them on some 10 - 20 persons with different background to verify what is of interest. It has been very prosperous exercises. I have found that there are railway freaks with conservative mind sets that prefer strict, often odd, vocabulary. But there are also more user oriented ones that demand vocabulary that is more "customer" oriented, versatile, understandable words. I believe there is a need to be less introvert and also adress both passengers who use and pay interest to trains and the buyers of goods transports using their more locistically influenced vocabulary where trains, lorries and ships are integrated using whords like intermodal transports and combi terminals regarding a railroad yard.
