Buchloe depot
The Buchloe depot (abbreviated: Bw Buchloe ) is a former depot in the Bavarian city of Buchloe . It was located next to the Buchloe junction station and existed as an independent office in the Augsburg Railway Directorate from 1928 to 1972. Until 1928 and between 1972 and 2004, it was a branch of the Kempten railway depot.
history
1847 opened the Royal Bavarian State Railways , the water and Eilgutcursstation Buchloe at the Ludwig South-North Railway . For small repairs, maintenance and repair work, a 35-meter-long wagon shed was built in Buchloe , in which ten wagons could be parked.
With the expansion of the Buchloe station to become a crossing station from 1872 to 1874, the capacity of the previous facilities was no longer sufficient. In 1872 the Bavarian State Railways demolished the carriage shed and built a two-room locomotive shed in its place by 1874 , which was followed by an overnight building for the locomotive staff and a water house. The locomotive shed, equipped with inspection pits, was intended for up to six locomotives. The plant also received a 12-meter-long turntable , water cranes and coal storage areas. In 1879 another three-tier engine shed was built, which was designated as House 2 . The previous two-tier engine shed was named House 1 . A locomotive workshop was also set up in Buchloe. In 1902, the 12-meter-long turntable in the north of the plant was replaced by an 18-meter-long turntable in the southern part.
On June 1, 1928, the Deutsche Reichsbahn upgraded the previous branch of the Kempten plant to an independent depot. The turntable was extended from 18 to 23 meters. The depot gained in importance and the locomotive stations in Markt Wald and Kirchheim (Schwab) were attached to Buchloe as branch offices. By 1945 the workforce had grown to over 200 people.
With the increasing use of diesel-powered vehicles and accumulator railcars , the importance of the Buchloe depot continued to decline from the 1960s onwards. In 1965 the locomotive workshop was closed and in 1966 the locomotive home was given up. In 1969 the three-part house 2 was demolished. In 1972, the Deutsche Bundesbahn dissolved the depot as an independent department and made it subordinate to the Kempten depot as a branch. In the 1970s, the no longer needed systems for steam locomotives such as the turntable, the water cranes and the coaling system were dismantled. From 1995 onwards, all of the factory's buildings were empty, and the remaining locomotive shed was still used to park locomotives and railcars.
In December 2004 the remaining building of the depot, the two-tier house 1 with water house and overnight building as well as a single wooden locomotive shed were demolished. Most of the plant's track systems are still in place and are still used to park, clean and refuel diesel locomotives and diesel railcars . For this purpose, the tracks are equipped with a diesel filling station, a water filling system and a disposal system for the train toilets.
vehicles
After the upgrade to an independent depot, seven steam locomotives were stationed in Buchloe in 1935, belonging to the 17.4–5 , 54.15 and 89.7–8 series . During the Second World War , the number of domestic series increased. 1945, eleven locomotives at Bw Buchloe is home to the still existing series 17.4-5 and 54.15 were Prussian P8 series 38.10-40, Bavarian Pt 2/3 Series 70.0 and einheitsdampflokomotive the 50 Series added.
By 1950, the inventory of the Buchloe depot rose to its highest level of 40 machines. In addition to the previously stationed locomotives, the 55.16–18 , 57.10–35 , 86 , 91.3–18 and 98.4–5 series were now based in Buchloe. The Bavarian S 3/5 of the 17.4–5 series were given up and replaced by Bavarian S 3/6 of the 18.4–5 series. In addition to the steam locomotives, accumulator railcars of the ETA 180 series were stationed in the Buchloe plant from 1950 .
In the 1950s, the Buchloer inventory decreased again significantly. In 1955, 23 vehicles were still stationed, these were the series 50, 70.0, 86, 98.4–5 and ETA 180. By 1958, the last locomotives of the series 70.0 were delivered, instead of the ETA 180, the DB now housed accumulator railcars of the ETA series 150 and ETA 178 in Buchloe. A total of 27 vehicles were again stationed in Buchloe in 1958. With the increasing displacement of steam locomotives from the routes around Buchloe, the plant's existence steadily declined in the 1960s. The last vehicles based in Buchloe were handed in in 1966.
Diesel locomotives of the 212 , 218 and 294 series as well as the 612 , 627 , 628 and 642 series diesel locomotives were serviced in Buchloe until the Bw branch office was closed in 2004 .
