Problem as to whether to operate shorter, more frequent trains between nodal points in railroad network is discussed; digital computer simulation model is suggested, applicable to all yards; model considers road trains from arrival through switching process; trains compete with other traffic for processing facilities; for specific yard, delay times to traffic are compared when road trains are input to model with various frequencies and train lengths while total traffic is held constant.
