Lokalbahnen
A ''Lokalbahn'' or ''Localbahn'' ("local line", plural: -en) is a Secondary route, secondary railway line worked by local trains serving rural areas, typically in Austria and the south German states of Bavaria and Baden-Württemberg. ''Lokalbahnen'' appeared at the end of the 19th century before the use of cars became widespread. Development Because the construction and operation of main line (railway), main line railways was not always covered by their income, simpler solutions were sought. As early as 1865 the engineering conference of the Union of German Railway Administrations (''Verein Deutscher Eisenbahnverwaltungen'') had set out the principles for secondary lines. These were enshrined in law in 1878 with the Railway Act for German Railways of Secondary Importance (''Bahnordnung für deutsche Eisenbahnen untergeordneter Bedeutung''). Bavaria By the 1880s, the Bavarian main line network was largely completed and attention now turned to its expansion into the hinterland. ...

Badner Bahn
The Badner Bahn or Wiener Lokalbahn is a tram-train service in the metropolitan area of Vienna. It runs for between Vienna and Baden, and is operated by the Wiener Lokalbahnen Aktiengesellschaft. The entire Badner Bahn is part of the and is one of the most important passenger services owned by WLB. In 2013, 35,000 passengers per day used the service. Route Starting from the Vienna State Opera, the service uses the tracks of Vienna's tram network as far as the Schedifkaplatz tram stop in the Meidling district, including parts of a pre-metro tram tunnel. From Schedifkaplatz to Leesdorf in Baden and between Leesdorf and Josefsplatz, the train service has its own infrastructure, of double-track light rail and of tram line, respectively. These tracks are owned and maintained by Wiener Lokalbahnen. Since 14 December 2014, there is a new train station at the state clinical center (german: Landesklinikum) in Baden. Despite its addition to the route, the length of a journey could ... [...More Info...] [...Related Items...] OR: [Wikipedia] [Google] [Baidu] |
Bavarian Branch Lines
Bavarian branch lines comprised nearly half the total railway network in Bavaria, a state in the southeastern Germany that was a kingdom in the days of the German Empire. The construction era for branch lines lasted from 1872, when the first route, from Siegelsdorf to Langenzenn, was opened, to 1930, when the last section of the branch from Gößweinstein to Behringersmühle went operational. History The first German railway line was opened in Bavaria in 1835. This was the '' Ludwigsbahn'' (Ludwig's Railway) from Nuremberg to Fürth which opened on 7 December 1835. This was the start of a railway building frenzy, which rapidly spread across the state. The second Bavarian railway line, from Munich to Augsburg, soon followed. The early railways were private lines, but from 184?, the Bavarian state oversaw the construction of railways, through its state-owned railway company, the Royal Bavarian State Railways. The most important routes were established first, of course, and becam ... [...More Info...] [...Related Items...] OR: [Wikipedia] [Google] [Baidu] |
Glaskasten
The Class PtL 2/2 locomotives of the Royal Bavarian State Railways (''Königlich Bayerische Staatseisenbahn'') were light and very compact superheated steam locomotives for operation on Bavarian branch lines (known generally as ''Lokalbahnen''). There were three types in total, of which two were transferred to the Deutsche Reichsbahn-Gesellschaft as Class 98.3 tank locomotives and even survived to join the Deutsche Bundesbahn fleet after the Second World War. Common to all the variants was the B axle arrangement (European or UIC classification) or 0-4-0 (Whyte notation), the semi-automatic, gravity-feed firing that enabled one-man operation, and platforms with guard rails, front and rear, that enabled safe access to the coaches. The locomotives had a large driver's cab with 3 windows per side that surrounded the entire locomotive boiler as far as the smokebox. This unique feature earned it the nickname ''Glaskasten'' ("glass box") or, in Franconia, ''Glas-Chaise'' ("glass carri ... [...More Info...] [...Related Items...] OR: [Wikipedia] [Google] [Baidu] |
CL Bay 06b
The Bavarian CL Bay 06b was a short open coach for branch line services with the Royal Bavarian State Railways (k.Bay.Sts.B.). It was listed in their 1913 fleet register under Design Sheet No. 570. Development With the growth of the branch line network in the Kingdom of Bavaria, there was a need for suitable coaches on the so-called '' Lokalbahnen'' or local railway lines. Since the only available locomotives were tank engines with low tractive power, such as the Class PtL 2/2, passenger coaches of a particularly light design were required. These coaches were not suitable for military transport. Procurement Between 1905 and 1911 a total of 281See also Sheet no. 499, 523, 568, 569, 570, 605 and 606 of the 1913 Bavarian railway fleet register wagons of classes ''BL'', ''BCL'', ''CL'' and ''PPostL'' were procured, all of which - except for the wagons of Class ''PPostL'' - had a uniform floor plan, open platforms at each end with Dixi gates on the steps and gangways only protect ...

Bavarian Localbahn Society
The Bavarian Localbahn Society (''Bayerischer Localbahnverein e.V.'' or BLV), with its headquarters in Tegernsee, is a society that is concerned with the history of the railways in Bavaria. ''Localbahn'' (sometimes ''Lokalbahn''; literally: 'local line') means 'branch line' and is mainly used in southern Germany and Austria in lieu of the usual term ''Nebenbahn''. The BLV's objectives are the operation of historic trains and the collection of historically valuable railway items from Bavaria. Operations The society runs the ''Localbahn Museum'' in Bayerisch Eisenstein and a locomotive shed in Landshut. It also operates the museum railway Tegernsee-Schaftlach-Holzkirchen Localbahn Museum The BLV dedicated its museum to the once common branch lines of the railway - called ''Vicinalbahnen'', ''Sekundärbahnen'' or ''Localbahnen'' - which connected most of Bavaria in the 19th century. Many of them have now fallen prey to the structural changes or have been changed to suburban train ... [...More Info...] [...Related Items...] OR: [Wikipedia] [Google] [Baidu] |
MAN SE
MAN SE (abbreviation of ''Maschinenfabrik Augsburg-Nürnberg'', ) was a manufacturing and engineering company based in Munich, Germany. Its primary output was commercial vehicles and diesel engines through its MAN Truck & Bus and MAN Latin America divisions, and participation in the manufacturer Sinotruk. MAN SE was majority-owned by Traton, the heavy commercial vehicle subsidiary of automaker Volkswagen AG, until August 2021 when Traton completed a squeeze out of all remaining shareholders and formally merged MAN SE into Traton SE, meaning the former subsidiaries of MAN SE were now directly owned by Traton, and MAN SE ceased to exist. History Foundation MAN traces its origins back to 1758, when the "St. Antony" ironworks commenced operation in Oberhausen, as the first heavy-industry enterprise in the Ruhr region. In 1808, the three ironworks "St. Antony", "Gute Hoffnung" (English: "Good Hope"), and "Neue Essen" (English: "New Forges") merged, to form the Hüttengewerks ...

PwPost Bay 06
The PwPost Bay 06 was a combined mail and luggage van designed for ''Lokalbahn'' branch line train services with the Royal Bavarian State Railways in the early 20th century. It was built to their Design Sheet Number 606. Development As Bavaria's network of ''Lokalbahn'' railways grew so did the requirement for suitable coaches for local passenger transport. Because the only motive power available were tank locomotives with low tractive power, such as the PtL 2/2, coaches of a special lightweight construction were needed. Procurement Between 1905 and 1911 a total of 281 wagons of classes ''BL'', ''BCL'', ''CL'' and ''PPostL'' were procured, all of which - except for the wagons of Class ''PPostL'' - had a uniform floor plan, open platforms at each end with Dixi gates on the steps and gangways only protected by a single iron railing. Large window panes were fitted instead of the composite windows that had been usual up to that point. They are sometimes referred to as 'the shorts ...
