This proximity allows for efficient rail access for businesses and industries in and around Hereford.
Rail is weighed by the yard...( a yard is 3 feet or 36 inches) If you look at the rail and it says 154 on it then it is "154 pound rail". The lighter 138 pound rail is not as heavy duty as the 154 pound rail. There are many different rail weights. In order to "weigh" the rail you would have to see what pound rail you have then measure that by 3 feet then times that by how long the railroad track is that you are trying to weigh.
A yard master is a railway employee responsible for overseeing the operations within a rail yard, where trains are assembled, disassembled, and serviced. Their duties include coordinating the movement of rail cars, ensuring safety protocols are followed, and managing the workforce involved in yard activities. The yard master plays a crucial role in maintaining efficiency and organization within the yard to facilitate timely train departures and arrivals.
