Dutch term
wegzetten locomotief
Dutch to English
Tech/Engineering
Transport / Transportation / Shipping
Railways
I'm having a no brain moment about the right term for 'parking a train'.
The term is part of a header "Locomotief uitschakelen/ wegzetten met ETCS"
Can anyone provide me with the correct term?

: The 'Lexique general des termes ferroviaires' renders 'wegzetten van krachtvoertuigen; stallen' as 'stabling'. I think I'd opt for this.

This entry is for wegzetten in the Lexique general des termes ferroviaires by the Union Internationale des Chemins de fer.
If you need any more looked up, just holler!
I have found that this is the international standard terminology, even when it sounds strange ;-)

: Hmm... not the only option in the Lexique Général (please see my peer comment for LAB2005's answer).
