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.
