Before you get your approval to run the service on a signal box, you need to find out about the local characteristics. After training as a general trainee signalman, dispatchers were always paired with a person skilled in the signal box. This chapter is the brief introduction to the area. Read it carefully. It contains very important information.

The text is "peer to peer" written as if you are in the signal box, the first day after training.

Have a more detailed look at the Sp Dr S 600-Zentralstellwerk Fulda panel here.

Zentralstellwerk Fulda

Lines

We have a total of 5 lines in the dispatching area of our Power Signal Box (PSB). Those are:

  • Line 1733 : High speed line Hannover–Würzburg
  • Line 3600 : Bebra - Fulda
  • Line 3700 : Gießen–Fulda (Vogelsbergbahn)
  • Line 3600 : Fulda - Hanau (Kinzigtalbahn)
  • Line 3824 : Fulda Bronnzell – Gersfeld (Rhönbahn)

Neighbouring Dispatching Areas

Let's have a look at our neighbouring dispatchers:

High-speed line Hannover–Würzburg (green line)

The high-speed line (SFS) Hannover - Würzburg is the longest newly constructed line in Germany and was built in the period 1973-1991. The section Fulda - Würzburg was taken into service on 27 May 1988. The section Fulda - Kassel was was taken into service in 1991. GWB (left hand running) is set up on the entire route. Pre-setting the block direction is also possible for the entire line. The maximum allowed line speed in regular traffic is 280 km/h, but in tunnels this is limited to 250 km/h. From time to also test drives with new trains take place here. On 01 May 1988, the ICE Experimental set a new world record at 406.9 km/h between Fulda and Würzburg.

Mottgers

On the bottom left, the SFS tracks 694/695 connect us with Mottgers. Our neighbor here is the dispatcher Burgsinn, who remotely controls the station of Mottgers. Both tracks are equipped with GWB. Our dispatching area begins at the end of the Schwarzenfelstunnel (tracks 662/692). Trains are offered using fields 663 and 664.

Langeschwarz

At the bottom center, the high-speed line continues into the direction of Hanover via tracks 594/595 (Witzelhöhetunnel). Our neighbour here is the dispatcher Kirchheim, who is remotely controls the adjoining station of Langenschwarz. Our dispatching area begins, seen from the direction of Hanover, at Üst Michelsrombach (tracks 503/533). Both tracks are equipped with GWB. Trains are offered using fields 594 and 595.

Hanau - Fulda (Kinzigtalbahn) (yellow line - leftside)

Neuhof

Tracks 425/426 connect us to Neuhof, where are neigbouring dispatcher Neuhof is located. The line splits at Flieden into the direction of Frankfurt and a line towards Wurzburg. On both tracks GWB is set up. Offering trains to Neuhof can be done using the fields 494 and 495.

Fulda Bronnzell – Gersfeld (Rhönbahn)

Gersfeld

Track 455 connects us to Gersfeld. Our neighbour there is dispatcher Gersfel. Trains towards Gersfeld must be offered by telephone. The switch connecting to this branch line (switch 100) has a maximum speed limit of 40 km/h in diverging position. So pay attention on how and when you fit in trains to or from Gersfeld, without having to delay other trains. This line only sees passenger services operated by the Hessische Landesbahn with rolling stock of type LINT. The yellow track numbers are a reminder telling that this line is not electrified. Therefor, you must operate FfrT before setting the trains route into the direction of Gersfeld. When using the Conrol Monitor enter "F,Pxxx.445I" for setting such train route.

Stations and Sidings

High-speed line Hannover–Würzburg (green line)

A total of 4 PSB's with 5 crossovers on the high-speed line are remotely controlled from our signal box. The interlocking systems there are of type Lorenz MC L 84 N, which has been specifically designed for high-speed lines. They are an evolution of the type MC L 84, wherein the N behind the name stands for "new line" is. One of the peculiarities of this system is that when locking switches, the opposite switch is automatically locked as well. In addition, no alternative routes can be set, which is possible with other interlocking types along the SFS. The switches can be travelled at 130 km/h in diverging position.

Sinntal Landrücken Süd (Üst) (FLRS)
Landrücken Süd

The crossover (Üst) Landrücken Süd and Landrücken Nord are both located in Germany's longest tunnel, the Landrückentunnel (10.779m long). The maximum allowed line speed in the tunnel is 250 km/h. The crossover (Üst) has its own PSB of type MC L 84 N.

Kalbach Landrücken Nord (Üst) (FLRN)
Landrücken Nord

The crossover (Üst) Landrücken Nord has its own PSB of type MC L 84 N.

Neuhof Hartberg (Üst) (FHAG)
Hartberg

The crossover (Üst) Hartberg has its own PSB of type MC L 84 N.

Dietershan (Üst) (FDIE)
Dietershan

The crossover (Üst) Dietershan has its own PSB of type MC L 84 N. It remotely controls the Üst Michelsrombach.

Michelsrombach (Üst) (FMIR)

The Üst Michelsrombach is remotely controlled from the PSB of Üst Dietershan.

Fulda

Bf Fulda (FFU)
Fulda Pbf

Here we have the passenger station of Fulda. Let's look at the station area from top to bottom. In the passenger station a maximum speed of 100 km/h is allowed, except for tracks 1, 2, 5, 8 and 9.

Tracks 36-38 are platform tracks, without catenary, for the trains of private operator HLB to/from Maberzell.

Almost all the trains of the RE-service Fulda <-> Frankfurt are scheduled to arrive or depart from track 1. The trains consist mostly of a BR 114 loc with some Dosto wagons. But from time to time we see a BR 111 in this service. Track 1 is also used for some terminating services of the Cantus (CAN) from Kassel / Göttingen. In case of delays you might need to schedule the arrival on an other track instead. So your experience and overview is needed then!

Track 2/102 has no platform. If the switches 282 and 287 are occupied, you can accommodate up to 777m here. Remember, however, that the RE departing from track 1 at xx:08 , is normally routed over the middle switches of track 2/102 to get to 253. If necessary, you can let the RE depart via track 252 and then route it to track 353. We do that pretty often. To/From track 252 via track 2/102 speed is limited to 80 km/h. Speed limits into track 1 and 2 , coming from entrance signal Q73, is limited to 60 km/h.

Tracks 3 and 4 are platform tracks. Track 3 is used for the passenger trains coming from the direction of Götzenhof. Track 4 is normally used for trains coming from the high-speed line from Kassel. It is still important to mention that the switch connection between track 3 and 4 (switches 304 and 313) can be driven at max 40 km/h. So it makes more sense to route trains coming from Götzenhof, and which need to go to track 4, via the train routes F93.Q74 and Q74.S4, allowing 100 km/h, instead of routing it via F93.Q73 and Q73.S4 allowing 40 km/h only.

Track 5 is again a track without platforms, can be used to overhaul freight trains. Trains with up to 734m will fit in this track. Additionally, entry and exit of track 5 can be done at 80 km/h, so certainly the better option and also much more frequently used alternative to platform tracks 2/102.

Track 6 and 7 are platform tracks for trains travelling towards the north. Trains running on the high-speed line towards Kassel have their stops on track 6. Trains heading into the direction of Götzenhof are scheduled on track 7.

Platform track 8 and 9 are used for the trains services of private operators HLB (to/from Gersfeld) and Cantus (CAN) (to/from Bebra and Göttingen) starting and ending in Fulda. The HLB trains beginning and ending lines of HLB from / to Gersfeld and the CAN (Cantus) from / to Bebra and Göttingen. The trains of the HLB are scheduled on track 9, the CAn trains use track 8. Track 8 can also be used for running around trains which have arrived on track 7. Speed limit on track 8 is 80 km/h, maximum allowed speed on track 9 is 40 km/h. Avoid using track 9, other then using it for the HLB tracks, as the low allowed speed their could hold up other traffic.

A Tunnelrettungszug (Tunnel Rescue train) is stbled on track 10. The rescue train has to perform condition rides so now and then. Sometimes one of locs of this trains needs to go to the feuling point as well.

Fulda Gbf (FFU G)
Fulda Gbf

The freight station of Fulda was once an important container and express freight terminal for the region. Nowadays there are still many tracks available, but they are mainly used for overhauling freight trains. Only a few freight trains end and begin in this freight station. For example, the kali trains to the kali factory in Neuhof. At night, the IC and ICE trains ending in Fulda Pbf are stabled in this yard.

In the southern part of the freight yard there is another Dr S 600-signalbox, used for shunting over the hump. That former dispatching area there is shown in dark grey on our panel.

The former container terminal can be reached via tracks 130 and 402. The Kali wagons for Neuhof arrive from there, before they are assembled together in the freight yard. Track 245 is electrified for only the first 150 m behind signal O245. Only train movements towards Bebra can start here. Trains are normally prepared using a dieselloc. Then aan E-loc picks up the train and departs from O245 into the direction of the passenger station. All other tracks are electrified.

Tracks 246 upto 250 are limited to speeds of 40 km/h. track 251, which is also the longest track in the Gbf, can be driven at 60 km/h, and track 252 which is normally used for train movements for the RE services from Frankfurt towards Fulda 1, allows speeds of 80 km/h.

Tracks 257 and 258 both officially belong to the area Bft W123. Track 258 is used for overhauling. Allowed track speed is 80 km/h. This track should not be used for personnel change of freight trains, as the driver will have to cross all main tracks by foot, which brings a potential risk for accidents. As we can not always lock tracks, due to the high traffic density, personnel changes should be done at the passenger station of the freight station (tracks 246 through 251).

Track 258 offers the last possibility to route trains from the yellow line into tracks 1 through 6. Continuing on the yellow line via track 257 leaves only tracks 7 through 9 as destination. When you need to route trains via 258 onto tracks 1-6, the best option is to set the route X337.O258B. The B button at signal O258 will set a overlap route to the left onto the green line. Maximum speed behind O258 will then be 40 km/h.

Fulda SFS Nord

The station area"SFS North" refers to the northern area of ​​the station, where the North-South line from Bebra and the high-speed line from Kassel meet. Here you also the possibility to route the trains into the correct direction. All switches in this part of the railway station are 100 km/h switches.


Track 64 does not have a main signal for the northern directions. Therefor signals Z4 and Z5 can act as exit signals as well.

Signal N47 does have auto fleeting, but no Zuglenkung. When auto fleeting is enabled for N47, a route towards signal 88 into the direction of Götzenhof will be set. It is advised to disable auto fleeting for signals Z7 and N47 in case you have a train on track 7-9 which needs to be routed onto the SFS towards Kassel. Otherwise Z7 would set a route towards N47 with overlap route into the direction of Götzenhof. To avoid this, set your route onto the SFS with the command Z7.N47B . The overlap route will be diverging to the left in this case. This will give an auto fleeting alarm of Z6, in the event that you have a train entering into track 6, as the overlap route for Z6.N66 is blocked by the overlap route of Z7.N47B.

Fulda Bronnzell – Gersfeld (Rhönbahn)

Fulda Bronzell

Trains towards Gersfeld have to be offered by telephone to dispatcher Gersfeld prior to sending the train out of Fulda. The line towards Gersfeld is not electrified.

Hanau - Fulda (Kinzigtalbahn) (gelbe Strecke - links)

Flieden (FFD)
Neuhof (Kr Fulda) (FNF)

Fulda - Bebra (yellow line - rightside)

Between Fulda and our neighboring dispatcher Haunetal-Neukirchen we have the stations Götzenhof, Marbach, Hünfeld and Burghaun. In the dispatchung area of Götzenhof, all switches, signals and buttons have a 7xx number. All 8xx items belong to the station of Marbach station, and finally the 9xx items to Hünfeld and Burghaun. This makes it very easy to recognize to which the dispatching area a certain switch, button, signal or track belongs.

Götzenhof (FGHF)
Götzenhof

Götzenhof is a station without platforms. This remotely controlled station has a Dr S 2 signalbox without switch chain. This means, that switches must be thrown manually by using the switch button + WT button, or when using the control monitor (DET) with the command WU, 7xx!

You might also notice that Götzenhof only has tracks 703-705. The tracks 701 and 702, back then presented on the panel above track 703, where taken out of service in 1993 and finally removed in 1995. In the past, Götzenhof was teh starting point of the single track Biebertalbahn towards Hilders. Because of dismantling those two tracks, some switches are no longer on the panel either, which explains teh "jump" in the switch numbers. Switches in Götzenhof are 60 km/h switches. The passing loop (705) offers space for freight trains with a length of 754m.

Track 705 is mainly used for overtaking freight trains towards Frankfurt by other traffic. Also, when a personel change is scheduled in Fudla, but the replacing driver hasn't announced himself, this station is a good place to take the trin to the side for a moment.

Left hand running (GWB) is possibel towards Fulda as well towards Marbach. Presetting the direction is only possible towards Fulda as this line is equipped with Zentrallblock 600. The open line towards Marbach is equipped with Selbstblock 59.

Götzenhof untill 1995:

Götzenhof until 1995
Marbach (Kr Fulda) (FMR)
Marbach

Marbach is a station without platforms. This remotely controlled station has a Dr S 2 signalbox without switch chain. This means, that switches must be thrown manually by using the switch button + WT button, or when using the control monitor (DET) with the command WU, 8xx!

The switches 801 and 802 at the northern side of the station allow speeds of 60 km/h in diverging position. All other switches are 40 km/h-switches. Track 801 can have trains with a length of 746m, track 804 can have trains with a length of 728m .

Left hand running (GWB) is possible towards both Götzenhof as well as towards Hünfeld. The open line is equipped with Selbstblock 59.

Hünfeld (FHUE)
Hünfeld

The station of Hünfeld is also remotely controlled from Fulda. A Dr S 60 PSB is located over there. The PSB of Hünfeld also remotely controls the station of Burghaun. Hünfeld used to have six main tracks and 2 to 3 tracks for shunting operation. Today the station has only platform tracks 902-905, having an island platform between tracks 902 and 903, and one between tracks 904 and 905. Here you can take stopping to the side to let them being overhauled by other traffic. Passing loop 902 has room for trains with a length of up to 749m. On track 905, trains with a length of 699m will fit. However, level crossing BU 127 is no longer present and as track 950 has a length of 51m, it is possible to take northward moving trains with a length of up to 750m into track 905.

All switches in Hünfeld are 60 km/h switches.

Hünfeld also has a radar-monitored level crossing (BU 128). The BU 127 is only existing on our panel. The level crossing as such does not exist anymore. If a route is set, BU 127 is immediately secured by the interlocking logic. Only for BU 128 (Breitzbacher Weg) a certain closing time must be taken into account, before the main signals can show a proceed aspect.

Trains of the CAN service between Fulda and Bebra/Kassel, the RE trains Frankfurt-Bebra (during rush hour only), and a few IC trains have their stop in Hünfeld.

GWB operation is possible towards Marbach as well as towards Burghaun. The open line towards Marbach is equipped with Selbstblock 59, the line towards Burghaun is equipped with Zentralblock 65. On epecularity with respect to GWB towards Burghaun is that there is no need to operate EaGT and/or EaT to set the direction. The direction is set automatically when you set a route into that direction.

Burghaun (Kr Hünfeld) (FBUH)
Burghaun

The station of Burghaun is remotely controlled from the PSB (Dr S 60) in Hünfeld, which is on its turn remotely controlled from Fulda. There used to be a platform track 953 in the past. Track 952 was just a track for passing through back then. Nowadays tracks 951 and 952 both have an outer platform. Only the CAN service between Fulda and Bebra/Kassel have there stop here.

The open line towards Hünfeld is equipped with Zentralblock 65. One pecularity with respect to GWB towards Hünfeld is that there is no need to operate EaGT and/or EaT to set the direction. The direction is set automatically when you set a route into that direction. GWB is not available into the direction of Hauntal-Neukirchen.

The additional end buttons near the exit signals exist due to the former presence of track 953. The end buttons N951B and N952B provide an entry route with short overlap route at max. 60 km/h, so that a entry or exit route to/from N953 could be set in parallel as well. The overlap route for end button P952B sets the overlap route into the contra track towards Hünfeld.

Peculiarities

LZB

LZB

  • LZB ist voll in Betrieb auf der SFS (Grüne Strecke) und im Bf Fulda Pbf.
  • LZB Züge fahren im Ganz- und Teilblockmodus. (Und mit 280 km/h! in 120 Sekundentakt)
  • Die Bf Götzenhof und Marbach sind nur Überholbf. Dr S Stellwerke ohne Weichenlaufkette. (Also Weichen von Hand umstellen!)
  • Hünfeld ist Sp Dr S 60
  • Fahrtrichtung im Zugübersicht wird angezeigt als die physische Fahrtrichtung im Bezug zum Bf Fulda. (weil es 2 große „S-Kurven“ auf der Wand gibt)

Personalwechsel bei Güterzügen

In Fulda finden mittlerweile viele Personalwechsel bei Güterzügen statt, da Fulda sehr zentral in Deutschland liegt. 95% der Züge mit Personalwechsel sind Züge privater EVU.

Ob ein Zug Personalwechsel macht oder nicht, steht in den Bemerkungen der Zugübersicht. Dort ist bei geplantem Personalwechsel der Zusatz "LPW" angegeben. Hat ein Zug nun also diesen Zusatz LPW, so sollte sich der ablösende Lokführer bei euch telefonisch anmelden. Passiert das nicht, solltet ihr euch gut überlegen wo ihr den Zug zwischenparkt, bis sich der ablösende Tf meldet. Dies wird besonders dann passieren, wenn ein Zug vor seiner Planzeit verkehrt. Bei pünktlichen oder verspäteten Zügen sollte sich der Ablösende Kollege auch rechtzeitig melden. Haltet aber immer Zettel und Stift bereit und notiert euch bei anrufen immer die Zugnummern, dann wisst ihr dass sich der Ablöser für diesen Zug bereits gemeldet hat und streicht die Zugnummer am besten erst durch, wenn der Personalwechsel wirklich stattgefunden hat, sonst kommt ihr bei viel Verkehr schnell ins grübeln.

Wo lasse ich die Güterzüge am besten Personalwechsel machen?

Wo die Güterzüge Personalwechsel machen, hängt natürlich in erster Linie von dem aktuellen Verkehrsaufkommen ab. Aber auch die Ortskenntnisse sind hier relevant:

  • Prinzipiell sollten Personalwechsel immer im Pbf gemacht werden, da die meisten ablösenden Tf auch dort ankommen, wenn sie mit dem Personenzug zum Dienst fahren und die Kollegen die Feierabend haben, natürlich auch nicht erst vom Güterbahnhof 15 Minuten zu Fuß bis zum Pbf laufen wollen.
  • Gleis 2/102 und 5 bieten sich für LPW natürlich aufgrund ihrer Länge und der Tatsache dass sie keinen Bahnsteig haben an. Jedoch sollte bedacht werden dass Signal S102 etwa 300m vom Bahnsteig entfernt ist und die Lokführer somit ein gutes Stück laufen müssen. Noch komplizierter ist es bei Gleis 5 wenn dort Züge in Richtung Norden LPW machen müssen. Signal Z5 steht auch etwa 300m vom Bahnsteig entfernt und man kommt nur zu Fuß dorthin, in dem man zwischen den Gleisen 6 und 7, bzw. 66 und 47 entlang läuft. Kurz hinter der Signalen Z6 und Z7 beginnt eine Rechtskurve und es wird mit bis zu 100 km/h gefahren, wodurch das Überschreiten der Gleise um wieder nach Gleis 5 zu kommen sehr gefährlich ist. Es müsste also vom Fdl zumindest Gleis 66 gesperrt werden für die Dauer des LPW bei nordgehenden Zügen. S102 und Z5 sollten also nur genutzt werden wenn nicht anders möglich.
  • Sollte ein Personalwechsel bei nordgehenden Zügen im Pbf nicht möglich sein, oder habt ihr den Zug z.B. direkt in den Gbf gefahren, weil sich der Ablöser noch nicht gemeldet hatte, so könnt ihr natürlich entscheiden ob der LPW dann auch nach dem Anruf des Ablösers im Gbf gemacht wird, oder der Zug noch mal zum Pbf vorzieht und dort zum LPW erneut zum stehen kommt.
  • Bei südgehenden Zügen haben wir aktuell noch das Problem, dass als Rangierauftrag für den LPW immer der Pbf angegeben ist. Fährt der Zug nun also durch den Pbf, bleibt der anbringende Tf automatisch mit seinem Zug dort stehen, auch wenn sich noch kein Ablöser gemeldet hat. Daher sollte der Zug im moment noch vor Fulda, oder in Gleis 1/102 oder 5 zwischengeparkt werden.
  • Es ist in der Simulation zwar möglich andere Bahnhofsteile als den Pbf oder Gbf für einen LPW auszuwählen, sollte aber nicht genutzt werden, da in der Realität auch nirgendwo anders Personalwechsel durchgeführt werden.

Kontrollmonitor Sp Dr S 600

Im Vergleich zum Sp Dr S 60 System kennt das Sp Dr S 600 System keine Nummernstellpult sowie auch kein ZNP. Bei Sp Dr S 600 System sind diese beide Systemen einfach gesagt ersetz durch ein Kontrollmonitor und Dataeingabetastatur.

Wichtig ist das bei einstellen von Fahrstrassen die exacte Signalname eingegeben werden muss, und nicht nur das Gleisnummer. Auf der Stelltisch von Fulda gibt es mehrere Signale anfangen mit ein Buchstabe gefolgt durch ein Nummer (des Gleises). Wichtiges Hilfsmittel in diesem Zusammenhang sind die grosse schwarze Buchstaben mit weissen Hintergrund in der nähe der Signale. Diese Buchstaben zeigen der Buchstabe womit die Signalname anfangen. Zum Beispiel:

When ein Fahrstrasse von Gleis 357 nach Gleis 337 eingestellt werden muss, sehen wir uns erst mal die Buchstaben am Stelltisch an

Name der Signale für eine Fahrstrasse

Der Startsignal ist hier T357, weil es gibt dort der Buchstabe T, und für das Zielsignal wird es X337.

Kommando für das einstellen mit der DET ist dann: "T357.X337"

Auch sind in Fulda nicht alle Zugfahrstraßen, die ein Hautpsignal umgehen automatisch Umfahrzugstraßen. Es ist z.B. ohne weiteres möglich eine Fahrstraße F93.S3 einzustellen. Hier wird das Signal Q73 umfahren. Auch möglich sind: F93 bis F97.S4 (umfahren von Q74), F97.S7 bis S9 (umfahren von Q77), A427.T357 (umfahren von R437), Y353.425 (umfahren von P403), Z4.772/94II/96II/88 (umfahren von N43), Z5.772II/94II/96II/88 (umfahren von N66)

Gleiswechselbetriebsmelder

Zwischen Götzenhof und Marbach, bzw. Marbach und Hünfeld ist Gleiswechselbetrieb mit Selbstblock 53-59 installiert. Bei Selbstblock 53-59 sind besondere Zusatzeinrichtungen vorhanden. Sie werden als Taktprüfeinrichtung bezeichnet. Diese befindet sich in dem Stellwerk (bevorrechtigter Bahnhof), aus dem die Ausfahrten in der gewöhnlichen Fahrtrichtung stattfinden. Die Freimeldung der einzelnen Blockabschnitte wird zu einer Gesamtmeldung zusammengefasst und durch den Gleiswechselbetriebsmelder angezeigt. Die Taktprüfeinrichtung befindet sich in Grundstellung, wenn bei freier Gesamtstrecke der Gleiswechselbetriebsmelder gelb leuchtet und der Erlaubnisabgabesperrmelder dunkel ist (siehe Bild).

Die Erlaubnis kann dann abgegeben werden. Ist ein von der Taktprüfeinrichtung überwachter Abschnitt besetzt, leuchtet der GWBM rot statt gelb. Die Erlaubnis kann nicht gewechselt werden. Nach Durchfahren aller Blockabschnitte ist die Grundstellung wieder hergestellt (GWBM leuchtet wieder gelb). Wenn der GWBM rot blinkt, ist die Taktprüfeinrichtung gestört
