Primary Rail Activities

In this experience, the learner is introduced to the Primary Rail Activities involved in being a shunter. Initially, the learner observes the process of shunting via an interactive map. The learner then moves on to navigating around the virtual yard to experience shunting up close.

The learner navigates through three locations in the rail yard learning how to direct train movements, break up trains into rakes (or put together rakes to become trains), perform roll-by inspections, and cut out bad order cars for servicing.

In completing this experience, the learner can describe the activities undertaken by shunters.
