The patterns of freight car transit system such as a direct transit between origin and destination yards without stopping at any yard en route, a local transit between two adjacent yards and an intermediate transit form derived from these two extreme forms are investigated as applied to the traffic networks established mainly for the link of principal yards in Honshu from the standpoint of railway management and the nation-wide economics, in terms of cost of the section of line, yard expenditure, temporal cost (for example: handling time of freight car at yards and its load, waiting time of freight cars to be transferred to another train), etc. (Author)
