Übergabegüterzug

A transfer freight train (abbreviation Üg, also handover ) is or was in the railways, a freight train, the individual wagons between the start and destination station and the nearest railway station promoted. Between these main railway stations of the car Nahgüterzügen ( Ng ) or through freight trains have been further promoted. Most of these related to trains and driven for only relatively short distances and only a few cars transported, that were delivered or picked individually or in groups on the so-called car - port or loading tracks.

Today, this traditional division of freight trains is out of date, today's " regional trains of single wagon traffic " around at Deutsche Bahn (DB) have to do with the classical transfer rather little and make more of a mixture of Üg and Ng Represent be of DB sometimes referred to as cargo handling and abbreviated as CB.
