Delivery train
A transfer freight train (abbreviation Üg , also transfer ) is or was a freight train on the railway that transports individual freight wagons between the starting or destination station and the next junction station. The wagons were carried on by local freight trains (Ng) or through freight trains between these junction stations . Mostly these were trains that only covered relatively short distances and only transported a few wagons, which were delivered or picked up individually or in so-called wagon groups on connecting or loading tracks.
Nowadays, this traditional division of freight trains is out of date, today's "regional trains of the wagonload freight" for example in the Deutsche Bahn (DB) tend to have little to do with the classic transfer and make more of a mixture of Üg and Ng . They are of the DB sometimes referred to as cargo control and abbreviated as CB .
