Railway Lines In Lower Saxony
Rail transport (also known as train transport) is a means of transport using wheeled vehicles running in tracks, which usually consist of two parallel steel rails. Rail transport is one of the two primary means of land transport, next to road transport. It is used for about 8% of passenger and freight transport globally, thanks to its energy efficiency and potentially high speed.Rolling stock on rails generally encounters lower frictional resistance than rubber-tyred road vehicles, allowing rail cars to be coupled into longer trains. Power is usually provided by diesel or electric locomotives. While railway transport is capital-intensive and less flexible than road transport, it can carry heavy loads of passengers and cargo with greater energy efficiency and safety. Precursors of railways driven by human or animal power have existed since antiquity, but modern rail transport began with the invention of the steam locomotive in the United Kingdom at the beginning of the 19th c ...

Friesenbrücke
The Friesenbrücke is a railway bridge in Weener, Germany, crossing the river Ems (river), Ems. Background The first bridge was built under the name ''Emsbrücke Hilkenborg'' between 1874 and 1876. In June 1922 the Lighter (barge), lighter ''Hohenfelde'', towed by the ''Theseus'', collided with the bridge, making the construction of a new bridge necessary. Between 1924 and 1926 the new bridge, a bascule bridge and the first ''Friesenbrücke'', was built with a length of about 335 meters. During World War 2 it was blown up by German soldiers (Wehrmacht) to stop the Canadian soldiers at the Ems. After World War 2, a new Friesenbrücke was built between 1951 and 1952, also a bascule bridge. The bridge wasn't wide enough to allow all newbuilts of the Meyer Werft in Papenburg to pass the bridge since the 1980s, so a second was created, which was opened by a crane vessel multiple times a year. In December 2015 the bridge was damaged by the cargo ship MV Emsmoon, ''Emsmoon''. Sinc ... [...More Info...] [...Related Items...] OR: [Wikipedia] [Google] [Baidu] |
Coastal Trading Vessel
Coastal trading vessels, also known as coasters or skoots, are shallow-hulled merchant ships used for transporting cargo along a coastline. Their shallow hulls mean that they can get through reefs where deeper-hulled seagoing ships usually cannot (26-28 feet), but as a result they are not optimized for the large waves found on the open ocean. Coasters can load and unload cargo in shallow ports. For European inland waterways, they are limited to a 33,49 m beam. World War II During World War II there was a demand for coasters to support troops around the world. Type N3 ship and Type C1 ship were the designations for small cargo ships built for the United States Maritime Commission before and during World War II. Both were use for close to shore and short cargo runs. The Government of the United Kingdom used Empire ships type Empire F as merchant ships for coastal shipping. British seamen called these "CHANTs", possibly because they had the same hull form as Channel Tanke ... [...More Info...] [...Related Items...] OR: [Wikipedia] [Google] [Baidu] |
