Brno, the historical centre of the Moravia region, is located in the eastern part of the Czech Republic. The Brno railway junction originated as a small terminal serving routes from Břeclav and Vienna. As additional railway lines were connected over time, the infrastructure gradually expanded in response to growing operational requirements. Today, Brno is one of the most important railway junctions in the Czech Republic.
Prague Masaryk Station is located near Prague Main Station and the Florenc bus terminal, between the New Town and Karlín districts.

Lausanne Triage, owned and operated by SBB Infrastruktur, is one of the most important terminals in Switzerland - 20% of inland wagon-load transport volume is sorted and classified here.

The Stuttgart 21 project and the construction of the Stuttgart-Munich high-speed railway line have a major impact on rolling stock maintenance operations in the German state of Baden-Württemberg. The new maintenance concept requires a significant expansion of maintenance capacity in the Ulm region. One proposed solution was the construction of a new maintenance centre on part of the existing marshalling yard that was no longer required for railway operations.
