The article describes basic directions in transport junctions' abroad in the second half of the XX century. The sorting works' concentration and structural changes in the schemes for the railway marshalling yards are given in the article as well. The history shows that in the postwar practice abroad much attention was paid to rational distribution of reconstructed and newly erected marshalling railway yards. In most cases for a long period the railway marshalling yards were developing according to private interests of railway societies. In the second half of the XX century changes in the countries' economies and in the railway operational conditions determined more rational distribution of the railway marshalling yards in the rail network of every country. The history of science and technology testifies that when modern railway marshalling yards abroad were reconstructed, they were equipped with newest technical devices providing self-routing, automatic cars' braking by means of moderators etc. The research of the sorting works' concentration and structural changes in the schemes for railway marshalling yards is of extreme topicality nowadays. Key words: railway station, sorting work
