Bramminge Train Accident
The Bramminge railway accident happened in Denmark on 26 July 1913, when train 1029 (known as ''the Emigrant'') servicing the route from Copenhagen to Esbjerg derailed soon after passing the station of Bramminge (now spelled Bramming) just 20 km East of Esbjerg. What happened and why Express 1029 was due to depart from Fredericia at 14:50. The train, which included through-coaches from Copenhagen, was larger than usual, so an A-class locomotive was added to the usual K-class locomotive. In addition to the locomotives, the train was made up of a covered goods van, a mail van, a bogie carriage, three wooden compartment coach (direct access from platform to compartments: no corridor) including two four-wheelers built in 1865, and then four more bogie carriages. The train finally pulled out at 15:06. On arrival at Lunderskov the train had made up three minutes of its delay and seemed likely to make up the rest without running too fast. The maximum permitted speed through stations w ... [...More Info...] [...Related Items...] OR: [Wikipedia] [Google] [Baidu] |

DSB (railway Company)
DSB, an abbreviation of ''Danske Statsbaner'' (, ''Danish State Railways''), is the largest Danish train operating company, and the largest in Scandinavia. While DSB is responsible for passenger train operation on most of the Danish railways, goods transport and railway maintenance are outside its scope. DSB runs a commuter rail system, called the S-train, in the area around the Danish capital, Copenhagen, that connects the different areas and suburbs in the greater metropolitan area. Between 2010 and 2017, DSB operated trains in Sweden. DSB was founded in 1885 when the state-owned companies ''De jysk-fynske Statsbaner'' and ''De sjællandske Statsbaner'' merged. History The first railways in Denmark were built and operated by private companies. The railways in Funen and Jutland were built by Peto and Betts who also supplied the locomotives (built by Canada Works, Birkenhead). Most of the technical staff was also recruited from Britain, notably from the Eastern Counties Railway. ... [...More Info...] [...Related Items...] OR: [Wikipedia] [Google] [Baidu] |

Derailments In Denmark
In rail transport, a derailment occurs when a rail vehicle such as a train comes off its rails. Although many derailments are minor, all result in temporary disruption of the proper operation of the railway system and they are a potentially serious hazard. A derailment of a train can be caused by a collision with another object, an operational error (such as excessive speed through a curve), the mechanical failure of tracks (such as broken rails), or the mechanical failure of the wheels, among other causes. In emergency situations, deliberate derailment with derails or catch points is sometimes used to prevent a more serious accident. History The first recorded train derailment in history is known as the Hightstown Rail Accident in New Jersey that occurred on November 8, 1833. The train was traveling between Hightstown and Spotswood New Jersey and derailed after an axle broke on one of the carriages as a result of a journal box catching fire. The derailment resulted in ...

Railway Accidents In 1913
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 facili ... [...More Info...] [...Related Items...] OR: [Wikipedia] [Google] [Baidu] |
