Yard Operations

Yard Operations provides two avenues in which to familiarise the learner with the rail yard. Initially, the learner explores the yard via an interactive map after which they move on to navigating around the virtual yard.

This experience allows the learner to safely explore three main areas of the rail yard identifying landmark features, areas, road names, tracks, and track features, access roads, crossings, danger zones, and more. In exploring the locations and features, learners will be exposed to key terminology, and operational and track level features of the rail yard.

The takeaway from this experience is learners will be site-ready, starting work familiar with the locations and landscape in which they will be engaged.

This experience is highly relevant to a broad range of Transport and Logistics Training up to advanced certificate IV, drawing from competency criteria related to TLIB0013 Apply knowledge of rail operation fundamentals in yards or sidings .
