Is there a "zur" between umrüstbar and Tranferstrasse?
If yes, then I think it means "convertible to a transfer line"
If yes, then I think it means "convertible to a transfer line"

: re-equipped, maybe? //Just by way of another option to put alongside yours - and Ken's (HNY!!) and what's an "errant question" here? It looks quite valid to me...

Thank you, David, happy New Year! To be honest, I don't know whether "re-equipped" is suitable - I would say it depends on the context, and not much context has been provided ...

Ken Cox
: 'reconfigurable' would work nicely here (who needs Kudoz points...? -- but I'd be happy to see it in the glossary)//true, but I can imagine worse fates

Thank you, Ken. Happy New Year! Why don't you make your own suggestion? If you leave it as it is, and if I get the points, and if I make the glossary entry (big IFs) then you are at "my mercy" - I might decide not to include 'reconfigurable' ... ;-)
