xxxmediamatrix: A 'gare de triage' is where (usually goods) trains are composed, depending on the destination of the stuff the wagons are carrying. The ST refers to 'parking space' for complete trains (usually passenger trains).

-> I live near one the largest train yards in the Midwest so i know what a train yard looks like. If that place is called a train yard and the place pictured on my reference is a "gare de triage", then they are one and the same.

xxxMD64: La gare de triage est la traduction de "mashalling yard" ou "switchyard" (Larousse) http://www.larousse.com/it/dizionari/francese-inglese/gare d... Un peu plus de contexte aurait été préférable

faisceau(x) de garage

Explanation:
gare de triage = marshalling yard ou classification yard en langage cheminot

Cec dit, cela pourrait être le cas ici. Mais sans autre contexte, on ne peut pas trancher.
L'expression "gare de triage" est employée par rapport aux wagons. Or ici il pourrait s'agir de trains de voyageurs. Faut savoir pour répondre à bon escient

dépôt de trains

Explanation:
Dans le domaine ferroviaire "yard" se traduit généralement par "dépôt".
Il pourrait s'agir d'un dépôt de trains, un lieu où on effectue différents types de réparations sur le matériel roulant (locomotives, wagons...)
Cependant, un peu plus de contexte aurait été utile pour fournir une traduction précise et appropriée.

Reference: Train yard

Reference information:
A train yard is the heart of any city's or company's rail transportation. There are several different varieties of yards catering to different types of trains and cargo. The purpose of each one is to accept incoming cars, remove specific cars, attach cars to another train, and send the trains down the appropriate track.

In addition to dividing up cars and changing direction, train yards are also havens for repair. Most large train yards will feature several machine shops catering to the various needs of a train. Many yards also have large stock yards that allow trains carrying animal cargo to unload. Most yards will be home to a variety of engineers, firemen, brakemen, conductors, and railroad officials who often inhabit large onsite offices too.

From the outside, the entire operation may look confusing. A large train yard is normally the size of several football fields, all with tracks leading in every direction with trains constantly coming and going. A yard is really a well organized, highly orchestrated place of business that can handle several thousand cars a day.
