China Railway Corporation is gradually advancing freight organization reform, and railway transportation organization will be changed from internal production to market-oriented. It is the inevitable direction of railway freight reform that expands the freight transportation function of marshalling yards and promotes freight stations into a modern logistics center. After describing the current situation of Chinese railway freight organization reform, the advantages of railways becoming logistics centers based on freight station and marshalling yard were analyzed. The basic operation mode of a railway logistics center was constructed, and the relevant strategy proposed. It will include strengthening comprehensive transportation infrastructure construction (such as a marshalling yard and a large-scale freight yard), improving service capacity of cargo storage and handling and constructing a modernized logistics center with value-added service function. The solution of constructing a railway logistics center based on a freight station and marshalling yard can offer decision-making reference for freight transportation reform of the railway administrative department.
