Übergabegüterzug
An ''Übergabegüterzug'' (abbreviated to: ''Üg'' or ''Übergabe'', literally goods exchange train) is a goods train that moves individual goods wagons on the first or last stage of their journey i.e. from the start to the first railway hub or from the final railway hub to its destination. Between hubs the wagons are hauled by '' Nahgüterzüge'' (''Ng''), i.e. local goods trains, or '' Durchgangsgüterzüge'' (through goods trains). These trains generally cover relatively short distances and only have a few wagons that are delivered to and collected from industrial or loading sidings, either individually or in so-called wagon groups. These days the classic categories of goods trains no longer really exist, rather the Deutsche Bahn's regional goods trains are more like a mixture of ''Üg'' and ''Ng'' trains. They are referred to by the DB as ''Cargobedienung'' (''CB'', i.e. cargo service) trains. See also * '' Durchgangsgüterzug'' * ''Nahgüterzug A ''Nahgüterzug'' (abb ...

Nahgüterzug
A ''Nahgüterzug'' (abbreviation: Ng) is the name given to a category of local goods train in German-speaking countries, sometimes translated as a 'pick up' train or pick-up goods train.Ernst, Dr.-Ing. Richard (1989). ''Wörterbuch der Industriellen Technik'' (5th ed.). Wiesbaden: Oscar Brandstetter, p. 707. . It describes a type of goods train that, unlike the ''Durchgangsgüterzug'' (through goods train) - does not stay together for its entire journey; instead wagons can be added or dropped off at intermediate stations en route. And unlike the ''Übergabegüterzug'' (goods exchange train) ''Nahgüterzüge'' run from one railway hub to another, usually between two marshalling yards. Along the way various groups of wagons are detached or collected at the intermediate stations.

Durchgangsgüterzug
A ''Durchgangsgüterzug'' (abbreviation: ''Dg'', literally: through goods train) is a category of German train that describes a goods train that runs directly to its destination with the same train formation. No shunting takes place at intermediate stations and it is usually a unit train. In addition to transporting freight between marshalling yards, these trains are also used to move large quantities of bulk goods on set routes (e.g. coal and ore) from ports to power stations and steelworks. Trains with only one type of freight are usually called unit trains or named after their freight e.g. coal train, oil train, etc. See also * ''Nahgüterzug'' * ''Übergabegüterzug An ''Übergabegüterzug'' (abbreviated to: ''Üg'' or ''Übergabe'', literally goods exchange train) is a goods train that moves individual goods wagons on the first or last stage of their journey i.e. from the start to the first railway hub or f ...'' {{DEFAULTSORT:Durchgangsguterzug Rail freight transpor ...
