    ENG: The formation of multi-group trains is one of the typical tasks solved in the process of operational work of railways. The purpose of this study is to reduce the time spent on shunting operations associated with the formation of multi-group trains. The studies are performed using the method of simulation modeling. The method of searching for a rational order of multi-group train formation was improved. It is based on the statistical evaluation of the variety of simulation modeling results of shunting movements, the sequence of which is determined using the various methods and formation schemes. The choice of the best method and the scheme of train formation makes it possible to reduce the duration of shunting by 7.1-23.3% when using a flat shunting neck and by 8-11% when using a sorting hump. The methods presented in this paper make it possible to develop software products for the automated preparation of shunting plans for the formation of multi-group trains at the stations.
