Emplacement Kijfhoek forms the pivot in the logistical handling of rail freight traffic to and from the Netherlands, partly because it is equipped with a hump system. The automated hump system controls the shunting process by managing switches, rail brakes, hump locomotives, and a clearance/push-on system in such a way that wagons arrive at the correct distribution track at a controlled speed. The hump system was commissioned in the late 1990s and is at the end of its technical lifespan.
