Abstract: The marshalling station is a station with multi-yards, wide areas, multi-types and quantities of equipment, multi-work, complex operation process and multi post cooperative operation. The integrated automation system of marshalling station is widely used in marshalling stations in China, which puts forward higher requirements for talent training and industry employees. The marshalling station operation simulation experiment platform takes the operation process of large marshalling station as the prototype, and constructs an experimental environment for highly simulating the whole process of arrival, disassembly, assembly, marshalling and departure of marshalling station. Hierarchical and diversified experimental projects are designed oriented by strengthening students’ knowledge understanding and application, skill training and innovation ability improvement based on the experimental platform, and the comprehensive training of single link, single post, multi- link, multi-post and whole process of marshalling station operation are realized through the progressive and integrating teaching mode, as well as students’ professional skills and innovation practice ability are effectively improved.
