From the Wikipedia article
Perth New Yard (also known as Perth North Yard, Perth Marshalling Yard, and Perth Muirton Yard) is a former railway marshalling yard in the city of Perth, Scotland. The yard was built in the early 1960s to gather traffic from around the Perth area and goods wagons from the lines radiating from Perth. It was latterly used as an engineering and wagon storage depot until it was finally closed in 2008.

This left a legacy of engine sheds, wagon repair locations, and goods depots. With nationalisation came the 1955 Modernisation Plan, which called for centralised goods sorting, and Perth New Yard was one of four main yards in Scotland to handle the wagonload traffic business, the others being Millerhill in Edinburgh, Thornton Yard near Glenrothes, and Mossend near Glasgow.
