A system and method for computing car switching solutions in a railway switch yard that has a switch and a plurality of classification tracks, the railway switch yard holding a plurality of empty cars yet to be switched by the switch. The system comprising input means for receiving data specifying a particular empty car to include in a departure train to be built by the railway switch yard and a processing entity including a CPU and a machine readable storage encoded with software. The software is configured for computing car switching solutions to assemble the departure train, the car switching solutions being such as to substitute an empty car from the plurality of empty cars to the particular empty car.
