Lalendorf Station
Lalendorf station is located in the municipality of Lalendorf in the German state of Mecklenburg-Vorpommern. The Neustrelitz–Warnemünde railway and the railway from Bützow to Neubrandenburg cross near the station. Both lines originally had separate station facilities, both located on the same station forecourt. Since the Neustrelitz–Warnemünde railway was rebuilt in 1960/1961, it bypasses the Lalendorf station, but it is connected to it by a connecting curve.

War Reparations
War reparations are compensation payments made after a war by one side to the other. They are intended to cover damage or injury inflicted during a war. History Making one party pay a war indemnity is a common practice with a long history. Rome imposed large indemnities on Carthage after the First (Treaty of Lutatius) and Second Punic Wars. Some war reparations induced changes in monetary policy. For example, the French payment following the Franco-Prussian war played a major role in Germany's decision to adopt the gold standard; the 230 million silver taels in reparations imposed on defeated China after the First Sino-Japanese War led Japan to a similar decision. There have been attempts to codify reparations both in the Statutes of the International Criminal Court and the UN Basic Principles on the Right to a Remedy and Reparation for Victims, and some scholars have argued that individuals should have a right to seek compensation for wrongs they sustained during warfare ...

Bad Kleinen Station
Bad Kleinen station is in the community of Bad Kleinen and is one of the oldest and most important railway stations in the Mecklenburg-Vorpommern, Germany. It primarily operates as a transfer station for traffic to and from Wismar, Grevesmühlen / Lübeck, Schwerin and Bützow / Güstrow / Rostock. History The town of Kleinen (the prefix "Bad", meaning “Spa town”, was awarded in 1915) was connected to the rail network in 1848, one year after the opening of the Hagenow Land–Schwerin railway, with the extension to Wismar. In planning the extension of the line from Schwerin to Rostock it was subsequently decided not to build the line directly from Schwerin, which would have required a crossing of Lake Schwerin. As a result, Kleinen became, after Hagenow Land, the second railway hub of Mecklenburg. In 1870, a line to Lübeck was opened via Grevesmühlen. The station was rebuilt around 1920. Before that the “home” platforms were located next to the entrance building and oth ... [...More Info...] [...Related Items...] OR: [Wikipedia] [Google] [Baidu] |
Lübeck Hauptbahnhof
Lübeck Hauptbahnhof (German for Lübeck main station) is the main railway station serving the Hanseatic city of Lübeck, in the German state of Schleswig-Holstein. It is a through station at the western edge of the city centre. With around 31,000 travelers and visitors each day, Lübeck Hbf is the busiest of all the railway stations in Schleswig-Holstein. It is classified by the Deutsche Bahn as a category 2 station. The present station building was built in 1908 by the Lübeck-Büchener Eisenbahn (LBE). At that time, the LBE operated most of the railway connections around Lübeck, including the express trains. The station building was designed by Fritz Klingholz, and replaced the previous, outdated building. Lübeck Hbf is a ''Reiterbahnhof'', or station with a reception building laid out as a bridge "riding" over the tracks. Its reception building spans a total of 10 tracks with four platforms. A special feature is its wide wooden steps leading down to the platform ... [...More Info...] [...Related Items...] OR: [Wikipedia] [Google] [Baidu] |
Regional-Express
In Germany, Luxembourg and Austria, the Regional-Express (RE, or in Austria: REX) is a type of regional train. It is similar to a semi-fast train, with average speed at about 70–90 km/h (top speed often 160 km/h) as it calls at fewer stations than '' Regionalbahn'' or S-Bahn trains, but stops more often than ''InterCity'' services. Operations The first Regional-Express services were operated by DB Regio, though since the liberalisation of the German rail market (''Bahnreform'') in the 1990s many operators have received franchise rights on lines from the federal states. Some private operators currently operate trains that are similar to a Regional-Express service, but have decided to use their own names for the sake of brand awareness instead. Regional-Express services are carried out with a variety of vehicles such as DMUs (of Class 612), EMUs (of Class 425 or 426) or, most commonly, electric or diesel locomotives with double-deck cars, the latter often with ...

Eilzug
An Eilzug (pl: ''Eilzüge'', cs, spěšný vlak, sk, zrýchlený vlak, English: ''Regional fast train'') is a type of passenger train in German-speaking countries which roughly equates to a British 'fast-stopping train' or 'semi-fast train'. The term has largely been superseded, but is still used on some lines. Germany In Germany Eilzug trains were middle-distance trains that usually ran between two conurbations and only stopped at important railway stations. In several public transport systems, there are also metropolitan railways (''Stadtbahn'', US: rapid transit) where trains on some routes run as ''Eilzüge'', stopping at fewer stations. The successor to the ''Eilzug'' in Germany today is the ''Regional-Express'' train. The term ''Eilzug'' was introduced first in Bavaria in 1902, and later in Prussia in 1907 and Saxony in 1908, for express trains with no supplementary fare, and which as a rule were formed of older compartment coaches. From about 1919 they only ran with second ... [...More Info...] [...Related Items...] OR: [Wikipedia] [Google] [Baidu] |
Electronic Interlocking
In railway signalling, an interlocking is an arrangement of signal apparatus that prevents conflicting movements through an arrangement of tracks such as junctions or crossings. The signalling appliances and tracks are sometimes collectively referred to as an ''interlocking plant''. An interlocking is designed so that it is impossible to display a signal to proceed unless the route to be used is proven safe. Interlocking is a safety measure designed to prevent signals and points/switches from being changed in an improper sequence. For example interlocking would prevent a signal from being changed to indicate a diverging route, unless the corresponding points/switches had been changed first. In North America, the official railroad definition of interlocking is: "''An arrangement of signals and signal appliances so interconnected that their movements must succeed each other in proper sequence''". Configuration and use A minimal interlocking consists of signals, but usually i ... [...More Info...] [...Related Items...] OR: [Wikipedia] [Google] [Baidu] |
