Track IDs are unique addresses that some tracks in stations are assigned. These addresses make it possible to refer to specific tracks in delivery orders , as well as to navigate to them with station maps .

Other than in books, track IDs are also shown on physical signs. Track ID signs are pole-mounted structures found on the right side of tracks , on their both ends, designed to inform of their ID.

If we take an ID example of "C-06S", "C" here represents a particular yard in the station. "06" indicates a specific track in that yard. "S" indicates the storage purpose of the given track. There are a few track types:

I – Input

This is where freight haul deliveries arrive.

O – Output

This is where freight haul deliveries depart from.

S - Storage

This is where empty cars are stored for shunting and logistical haul deliveries.

L - Cargo Transfer

This is where cars are loaded and unloaded, using the cargo transfer machine .

LP - Passenger Transfer

This is a track with a platform where the passengers and mail get transferred from.

SP – Passenger Storage

This is where coaches and railcars are parked.
