Mixed freight trains have more diversified vehicle characteristics and train combination modes than unified freight trains, so it is more difficult for mixed freight trains to predict the accident caused by longitudinal impulse. At present, train dynamics theories and numerical simulation methods have been increasingly used to reduce longitudinal train impulse and decrease freight wagon instability. According to these research experiences, this paper focuses on the marshalling modes of mixed freight trains and their effects on the longitudinal in-rain forces. For this purpose, an advanced simulation model for mixed freight trains was developed and several typical mixed marshalling modes were designed and simulated. The results indicate that, for the mixed train including empty and loaded wagons, empty wagons should be arranged at the tail of the train and should avoid being marshalled together. For the mixed train including marshalled wagons with various actual live loads or nominal axle loads, heavier wagons should be centrally arranged in the front part of the train, and meanwhile marshalled wagons should avoid being sorted by weight in the concave and ascending distribution mode. For the mixed train including marshalled wagons with various body types, container flat wagons and oil tank wagons should be arranged as much as possible in the front of the other wagons.
