The technology of augmented reality is often confused with virtual reality and differs fundamentally. While augmented reality complements the real environment with virtual elements, virtual reality completely replaces this environment. Complicating the currently used technological process due to incorrectly or "violently" augmented reality can result in a primary prolongation or overpricing of the process, and secondarily also a reduction in the safety of employees performing the technological procedure operations in the track. The analysis of technological procedures in transport and logistics with the aim of innovating established procedures is an ongoing process not only in the present. Innovation can result in lower operating costs, increased transport speeds and adaptation to the needs of customers so that the rail sector remains competitive compared to other modes of transport. With the development of information technology in recent decades, new and new opportunities for innovative practices are gaining ground, while innovation itself is not proceeding as fast as development allows. This is for various reasons, whether in terms of operational safety or the relevance of technological progress to rail transport issues. The aim of this paper is to assess the possibilities of implementing technology of augmented reality in terms of procedures for processing sets of wagons in freight transport based on the analysis of technological procedures in rail freight transport at the Žilina - Teplička marshalling yard and characteristics of augmented reality. The implementation options are assessed on the basis of their feasibility separately in the case of the carrier, separately in the case of the infrastructure manager and finally in the simultaneous implementation in both entities. The implementation of augmented reality is always rational, which means that it must always represent a simplification, acceleration or reduction of costs in the usual technological procedures.
