RP-Eisenbahn
RP Eisenbahn GmbH ''(RPE)'' is a railway infrastructure manager founded in 1998. The company is based in Wachenheim an der Weinstraße, Germany. History RP Eisenbahn GmbH was founded in April 1998 by two private shareholders. The company's activities began in 1999 with the reopening of decommissioned railway lines in the Hunsrück and Palatinate regions. In 2000, the approximately 31 km long Freiberg-Holzhau railway in Saxony was leased from Deutsche Bahn AG and was completely renovated during a 6-month line closure. While the Deutsche Bahn previously only used one train per direction every two hours and required a travel time of over 60 minutes, the modernization made it possible to reduce the travel time to 40 minutes, so that rail transport is now offered at hourly intervals with the same number of vehicles and without the need for additional personnel. Instead of 54 million Deutsche Mark, as assumed by the DB, the modernisation was achieved with 15 million Deutsche ... [...More Info...] [...Related Items...] OR: [Wikipedia] [Google] [Baidu] |

Side Platforms
A side platform (also known as a marginal platform or a single-face platform) is a platform positioned to the side of one or more railway tracks or guideways at a railway station, tram stop, or transitway. A station having dual side platforms, one for each direction of travel, is the basic design used for double-track railway lines (as opposed to, for instance, the island platform where a single platform lies between the tracks). Side platforms may result in a wider overall footprint for the station compared with an island platform where a single width of platform can be shared by riders using either track. In some stations, the two side platforms are connected by a footbridge running above and over the tracks. While a pair of side platforms is often provided on a dual-track line, a single side platform is usually sufficient for a single-track line. Layout Where the station is close to a level crossing (grade crossing) the platforms may either be on the same side of the cross ...

Railway Station
Rail transport (also known as train transport) is a means of transport that transfers passengers and goods on wheeled vehicles running on rails, which are incorporated in tracks. In contrast to road transport, where the vehicles run on a prepared flat surface, rail vehicles (rolling stock) are directionally guided by the tracks on which they run. Tracks usually consist of steel rails, installed on sleepers (ties) set in ballast, on which the rolling stock, usually fitted with metal wheels, moves. Other variations are also possible, such as "slab track", in which the rails are fastened to a concrete foundation resting on a prepared subsurface. Rolling stock in a rail transport system generally encounters lower frictional resistance than rubber-tyred road vehicles, so passenger and freight cars (carriages and wagons) can be coupled into longer trains. The operation is carried out by a railway company, providing transport between train stations or freight customer facilit ...
