| bandgårdsobjekt marshalling / railway yard installation(s) Explanation: Swedish "objekt" is often hard to translate, and "railway yard object" strikes me as unEnglish - we would say "property," "plant," "unit," "installation" or similar - less comprehensive than "objekt", but unfortunately "railway yard object" is too vague to be meaningful. But I have no convincing alternative, so I merely suggest "installations". As for "marshalling yard", see ref for a photo of what in the UK is usually called a that.
