DGEG
The German Railway History Company (''Deutsche Gesellschaft für Eisenbahngeschichte'') or DGEG is a society concerned with the history of the railways. The objectives of the society are: * to generate and maintain interest and understanding for the history of the railways within the framework of overall history, * to foster scientific studies in this area, * to preserve and maintain important cultural and technological monuments. History The society was founded on 22 April 1967 in Karlsruhe and was entered on the official register of clubs and societies there. Members of the society were able to gradually restore the Bochum-Dahlhausen locomotive shed and its surroundings to their former condition after their closure by the Deutsche Bundesbahn on 1 August 1969. Because the arrival of railway vehicles was imminent in 1972 and Dahlhausen was still not totally ready, the locomotive shed next to the workshop building of the old Neustadt/Haardt locomotive shed was rented. In 1981 then ... [...More Info...] [...Related Items...] OR: [Wikipedia] [Google] [Baidu] |

Railway Museums In Germany
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] |

List Of Prussian Locomotives And Railbuses
This list gives an overview of the locomotives and railcars that were in the Prussian state railways. Also included are the locomotives of the Grand Duchy of Hesse State Railways (''Grossherzoglich Hessischen Staatseisenbahnen'') and the Prussian-Hessian Railway Company (''Preussisch-Hessischen Eisenbahngemeinschaft''). Locomotive classification 1883 classification system Up to 1 April 1883 the Prussian state railways or acquired private railways designated their locomotives with names and/or numbers. From that date the following numbering scheme was introduced into all the railway divisions. This scheme applied to all state railway divisions and state-managed private railways. Locomotive numbering was organised according to the above system. However a locomotive could only be identified exactly by using the divisional name and running number in combination. Because of the increasing numbers of locomotives being procured, the classification scheme and its range of number ... [...More Info...] [...Related Items...] OR: [Wikipedia] [Google] [Baidu] |

List Of DRG Locomotives And Railbuses
The railway vehicle classes covered by this list of DRG locomotives and railbuses belonged to the ''Deutsche Reichsbahn-Gesellschaft'' or DRG (1924–37) and its successor, the ''Deutsche Reichsbahn'' or DRB (post 1937). The DRG (lit. German Imperial Railway Company) was formed under the terms of the Dawes Plan from the ''Deutsche Reichseisenbahnen'' (lit. Imperial Railways), a merger of the various German state railways after the First World War. The tables are generally organized in accordance with the DRG's numbering schemes for the various types of vehicles. A brief explanation of this may be found in the articles on the numbering scheme of the German railways and German steam locomotive classification. After the end of the Second World War the West German part of the DRB became the ''Deutsche Bundesbahn'' (DB), but its East German counterpart continued to be called the ''Deutsche Reichsbahn'' (DR) – see Deutsche Reichsbahn (East Germany). The DB and the DR later introduced ... [...More Info...] [...Related Items...] OR: [Wikipedia] [Google] [Baidu] |
