The railway facilities in Bangladesh are old, and the coverage of the railway network is limited, mainly concentrated between major cities and regions in Bangladesh. The passenger and freight transportation share is relatively low, making the railway construction market huge. With Chinese enterprises going global, there are diverse design principles in the construction of new railway projects, which differ from Chinese design principles to some extent. In order to promote and develop projects better, it is essential to understand the railway design standards and principles in Bangladesh. Based on completed and ongoing projects, this paper provides a comparative analysis of the main differences of station yard design principles between Bangladesh Railway and China mixed passenger-freight railway, aiming to provide reference for future research on BG and DG railway designs in Bangladesh or the South Asian region.
