The locomotive 19 of the Bavarian Zugspitze Railway is a narrow gauge electric locomotive for the pure gear operation, from Stadler Rail have been delivered.
history
In 2014 the Bavarian Zugspitzbahn ordered a new mountain locomotive from Stadler . It was needed in order to be able to offer half-hourly intervals between the Eibsee and Zugspitze stations during the construction phase of the new Zugspitze cable car (April to December 2017). In the long term, the new mountain locomotive is also intended to replace the two older mountain locomotives 14 and 15 for snow clearing trips and freight trains, which cannot run on the same schedule with the newer double multiple units 10 and 11 or 12 to 16 due to their low speed .
The locomotive was manufactured at Stadler's Bussnang factory with the serial number 4329 and cost around 3.8 million euros. The locomotive was first driven to Munich using trolleys from RailAdventure and transported from there on a low-loader to Garmisch-Partenkirchen, where it was put on the rails with the help of a crane on October 5, 2016.
technology
The new mountain locomotive was given the road number 19 and is designed as a pure rack-and-pinion locomotive with the wheel arrangement 1zz1'1zz1 '. It can therefore only run on the mountain route between Grainau and Zugspitze. Based on the old mountain locomotives, an angular appearance with the classic colors was chosen for the locomotive. With its four axles, however, the locomotive differs significantly from its predecessors.
An electrodynamic brake acts as a service brake either on a braking resistor or it feeds power back into the overhead line. There are also two gear brakes that work independently of one another and each act on all four drive gears. In addition to the pneumatically operated gear brakes, the locomotive has a vacuum brake equipment to existing Vorstellwagen to carry. It is able to transport braked display cars with a mass of 40 tons and unbraked display cars with 30 tons.
There are driver's cabs at both ends of the locomotive, but the driver's cab on the mountain side was not fully equipped in favor of radio remote control . With this radio remote control, one is able to always control the locomotive in one-man operation from the head of the train without having to convert the existing passenger and freight cars. This was the first time that radio remote control was approved for use in passenger traffic in Germany. Entry is via front doors, which are always arranged on the left-hand side, seen in the direction of travel, in order to ensure that the vehicle can also be evacuated in the tunnel.
