The train station Adorf (Vogtl) is the train station of Adorf / Vogtl. in Saxony . The railway junction is only of local importance. Only the Plauen – Cheb railway line is still used by scheduled trains; the railway line in the direction of Chemnitz has not yet been closed, but is only used by diversion trains; Scheduled passenger traffic no longer takes place. The railway line in the direction of Aš and the railway line Siebenbrunn – Erlbach , whose trains were tied through to Adorf, are both closed today.

history

Surname

The station has already had three different station names in its history, in detail these were:

  • until April 30, 1909: Adorf train station
  • until June 30, 1911: Adorf i. V.
  • since July 1, 1911: Adorf (Vogtl) train station

business

On November 1, 1865, Adorf received a railway connection with the opening of the line from Herlasgrün via Oelsnitz and Adorf to Eger (today Cheb) by the Voigtland State Railway. The newly opened through station was largely similar to the Falkenstein station , but as early as 1871 Adorf station had to be expanded for the first time due to the double-track expansion of the Plauen – Eger line to Adorf.

With the opening of the entire Chemnitz – Adorf line by the Chemnitz-Aue-Adorfer Eisenbahn-Gesellschaft (CAAE) on November 15, 1875, the through station became a separation station , but the CAAE line ended in its own terminus, which was only connected to the State railway was connected. The CAAE tracks ended at a turntable in front of the front of the reception building. After the nationalization of the CAAE in 1876, the Adorf station was expanded again. In 1880 Adorf got its own boiler house.

Due to the location of the turntable at the end of the main line from the direction of the Aue, accidents occurred every now and then; on January 6, 1900, a locomotive even drove through the gable wall of the reception building.

With the extension of the Asch – Roßbach railway line by the Imperial and Royal State Railways to Adorf in 1905, hardly any changes occurred. A contract had previously been concluded with the railway company, the kk state railways were given two previous freight train tracks, were allowed to use the remaining tracks of the Royal Saxon State Railways against payment and built a water crane and a waiting hall. The route extension from Roßbach was opened in 1906.

Station after the station renovation

In connection with the double-track expansion of the Adorf – Siebenbrunn section, since the Siebenbrunn – Markneukirchen railway was planned from there , extensive renovation work began again. For this reason, a new railway construction office was set up in Adorf from 1905 to 1912 . The main points of the renovation were:

  • Raising the southern end of the station by three and a half meters to remove a level crossing
  • Demolition of the previous locomotive treatment facility and new construction on Kaltenbach (route kilometers 31.86 on the Plauen – Eger railway line)
  • Expansion of the freight yard and the construction of a drainage hill
  • Construction of two island platforms, a total of six platform tracks were then available
  • Construction of a new reception building
  • Construction of two new signal boxes , from which all points can be remote-controlled

In 1912 there were 45 points, eight double-crossing points and one crossing in the 1.6-kilometer long station . As early as 1909, a connecting line branching off from the station area had been set up, which was operated until 1967.

The station survived the Second World War largely undamaged; only low-level aircraft fire caused minor damage. After the war, the second track of the railway lines was dismantled as a reparation payment , so that many track connections within the station were superfluous and were also removed. The traffic to Roßbach, which was interrupted at the end of the Second World War, was never resumed and the line to Roßbach was also dismantled between 1946 and 1951. The second track on the Plauen – Cheb line was not due to be rebuilt until 1979.

In 1990 the station consisted of 54 switches, two simple crossings and one crossing.

In November 2012 the reception building, which had been left to decay over the past two decades, was demolished.

Railway depot Adorf

The Adorf railway depot emerged from the Adorf locomotive station , which was set up from 1877 to 1880 after the construction of a six-hour boiler house . Previously, only the Adorf stop of the CAAE had a two-storey boiler house.

Already after the nationalization of the CAAE, the construction of a boiler house in the Adorf train station was considered, but the planning was discarded for reasons of cost. Four years later, a boiler house was built in the immediate vicinity of the reception building. Because of the cramped conditions, it had to be long and narrow, with a total of six locomotives on the two tracks, and a water station , a workshop and a coal shed were built. Since the plants were in the immediate vicinity of the city, there were numerous complaints from the population about smoke nuisance.

Since the facilities could not be expanded due to a lack of space , new facilities were built from March 1906 onwards, as part of the station renovation from 1905 to 1912, outside the Kaltenbach station at 31.86 kilometers of the Plauen – Eger railway (from Adorf station in the direction of Plauen / Roßbach) . The work could be finished in June 1909, a fifteen- long semicircular locomotive shed with a 20 m turntable and an administration building had been built.

From 1928 to 1933 the facilities were enlarged again. Two new shed tracks were built, the workshop was expanded and work was made easier for the staff - construction of an axle recess , improvement of the sanitary facilities, construction of a coal crane.

In 1948/49 the depot was to be closed due to extended locomotive circulation plans , but the plan was not implemented. The Adorf depot was closed as an independent service on June 30, 1969 and incorporated into the Reichenbach depot as a locomotive deployment center.

The locomotive deployment center was converted into a pure personnel deployment center on November 30, 1992, it was finally closed in 1997. The Vogtland Railway Association in Adorf is currently using the facilities and is receiving some vehicles (including the 86 607 and an ELNA 1 ) as a museum.

Locomotive use

Initially, the genera H VII , H IIIb T , H V T and IV T were stationed in Adorf. Before the First World War, these were supplemented by the types V V , I V , XI HV, XI H, XI HV , XII H2 (later series 38.2–3) and XI HT (series 94.19–21). After the First World War, the class XIII H (class 58.4) was used in freight train service for the first time.

While locomotives of the Royal Saxon State Railways were used almost exclusively until the end of the 1920s, other vehicles have now been added. The Saxon Länderbahn locomotives remained until at least 1965. The class 75.5 was only used briefly by Adorf , and several brand-new examples of the class 86 were received as replacements at the end of the 1920s . The 38.2–3 series was supplemented by vehicles from the 38.10–40 series that could be used immediately . Numerous locomotives of the class 58.10-21, identical in construction to the class 58.4, also came to the Vogtland.

During the Second World War, some class 50 locomotives were stationed in Adorf , but they were replaced by the class 52 before the end of the war . At the end of the war, the 38.2–3, 52, 58, 75.5, 86 and 94.19–21 series were available in the depot. In addition, there were individual locomotives of the series 53, 54.15–17 , 91 and 56.34–35 , which were withdrawn from service or given to other offices soon after the end of the war. The locomotives with a tender were also handed in; instead, Adorf received additional series 75.5 and 86 tank locomotives.

With the start of uranium mining, Adorf received the class 58.4 again, which from then on also hauled express trains - including the Karlex - as well as extremely heavy freight trains. The 50 series was added from the mid-1950s.

In 1968, with the V 200 series, diesel locomotives were stationed in Adorf for the first time; the change in traction was completed in 1971. Since then, only diesel vehicles have been used until the locomotive operations center was closed.

In addition to the V 60 series , Adorf also used the V 180 and 130/131/132 series.
