A new yard for arrival and departure of cargo trains has been built within modernization of Apparatnaya Station (Yekaterinburg) on Sverdlovsk Railway.
New electrified cargo yard connects the station and connecting track leading to Uralskiy Logistics Center. The yard is used for arrival and departure of loaded containers, transfer of trains from public railways and back, maintenance and commercial examination of train cars, paperwork processing and marshalling operations.
