The railway industry plays a critical role in the efficient transportation of goods and passengers across vast distances. Among the essential components of this system are marshalling yards, where trains are organized, rearranged, and prepared for future operations. The efficient functioning of these yards is vital for improving network performance, reducing operational costs, and enhancing overall productivity. In this study, a comprehensive model has been developed to eva‎luate the technical and economic aspects of various marshalling yard facilities across Iran, with the aim of optimizing their performance. The research begins by categorizing and analyzing different types of marshalling yards used in railway operations, identifying key technical and economic factors affecting their performance. Using a multi-criterion decision-making (MCDM) approach, the study eva‎luates these yards based on critical parameters such as construction and maintenance costs, environmental impacts, and operational efficiency. This model facilitates the comparison and selection of the most optimal yard design, which can significantly improve operational productivity and reduce expenses.The findings of this research offer a valuable decision-making tool for railway managers and planners, enabling them to make informed choices about the development and optimization of marshalling yards. This study contributes to the broader goal of enhancing railway efficiency and sustainability by identifying the most effective strategies for managing and maintaining marshalling yards.
