In this tutorial, we will use the AnyLogic Rail Library in this tutorial to build a model of a hump yard. A hump yard is a classification yard where cars are brought to a hump from where they are moved to by gravity to classification tracks.

Arriving trains contain cars of 5 different types, which are sent to 5 departure tracks. As soon as 8 cars of the same type accumulate on an outbound track, they are moved away as a newly formed train.

• Rail Library allows you to efficiently model, simulate, and visualize operation of rail yards and rail transportation of any complexity and scale. Classification yards, rail yards of large plants, railway stations, rail car repair facilities, subways, airport shuttle trains, rail in container terminals, trams can be easily and accurately modeled with this library.
• The Rail Library integrates well with the Process Modeling Library and the Pedestrian Library, so you can combine rail models with models of trucks, cranes, ships, passenger flows, manufacturing or business processes, and so on.
