Bergen Auf Rügen–Lauterbach Mole Railway
The Bergen auf Rügen–Lauterbach Mole railway is a single-track branch line on the German island of Rügen in the state of Mecklenburg-Vorpommern. Route description The line branches off at Bergen auf Rügen station from the Stralsund–Sassnitz railway. It runs southeast, through Putbus to Lauterbach Mole and ends on the shore of the Rügischer Bodden. In Putbus there is a junction with the steam-operated, narrow gauge Rügen Light Railway to Göhren via the Baltic Sea resort of Binz. Standard-gauge trains are diesel railcars. Narrow-gauge trains are hauled from Putbus to Lauterbach Mole by steam; as there is no passing loop there, are hauled back by a diesel engine attached to the rear. History Until the opening of the Rügen Causeway (''Rügendamm'') in 1935, there was only an isolated railway network on the island of Rügen. There were two standard gauge lines, Altefähr to Sassnitz and the branch from Bergen to Lauterbach. This branch was opened on 15 August 18 ...

Stralsund–Sassnitz Railway
Stralsund–Sassnitz railway is a railway line, most of which is located on the German island of Rügen and which is its most important railway. The line is the northernmost German section of the route from Berlin to Stockholm. Course The line starts at Stralsund Central Station. Even before it leaves the station yard, it branches off from the Angermünde-Stralsund Railway and swings away to the northeast. A link curve to the south enables trains to run straight into Stralsund from the island of Rügen without having to change direction. After passing the branch to the port of Stralsund (''Stralsunder Hafen''), it reaches the Rügen Causeway (''Rügendamm''). Shortly thereafter, the line passes over the 133-metre-long Ziegelgraben Bridge - a bascule bridge - to the island of Dänholm off the Strelasund. Then it goes over the 540-metre-long Strelasund Bridge to the island of Rügen. The Ziegelgraben Bridge, the Strelasund Bridge and the embankments on the mainland and Dänholm ...

Buffer Stop
A buffer stop, bumper, bumping post, bumper block or stopblock (US), is a device to prevent Railroad car, railway vehicles from going past the end of a physical section of Track (rail transport), track. The design of the buffer stop is dependent, in part, on the kind of couplings that the railway uses, since the Railway coupling, coupling gear is the first part of the vehicle that the buffer stop touches. The term "buffer stop" is of Italian origin, since railways in Italy principally use Buffers and chain coupler, buffer-and-screw couplings between vehicles. Types Several different types of buffer stop have been developed. They differ depending on the type of coupler used and on the intended application. * Buffer stops with anticlimbers. These are particularly important for passenger railway applications, because the anticlimbers reduce the likelihood of Telescoping (railway), telescoping of the Passenger car (rail), railroad cars during a head-on impact. * Buffer stops for ...
