Burgsinn depot (in the planning phase also overtaking station Burgsinn ) is a depot on the high-speed line Hanover – Würzburg near the Lower Franconian districts of Burgsinn and Rieneck .

The boundaries of the station ( entry signals ) are at route kilometers 282.316 and 285.495. The railway system includes 10 entry and 12 exit signals as well as 22 points .

It serves as an overtaking and operating station and connects the new line with the existing line from Flieden to Gemünden . It is the most complex overtaking and operating station on the route.

Location and structure

The 2.7 km long and up to 57 m wide station complex runs in a north-south direction and has a number of tracks:

  • The continuous main tracks of the high-speed line are in the middle and can be used at speeds of up to 280 km / h.
  • A passing track is attached to each side of the main tracks.
  • On the west side, there are additional tracks, including a siding. The connecting tracks to the existing line in the north and south head of the facility thread into and out of the passing track, which is located immediately to the west of the continuous main tracks. The two connecting tracks each have a gradient of 12.5 per thousand. The northern track was brought as close as possible to the Burgsinn passenger station for signaling reasons.

The minimum useful length of the passing tracks is 750 m. In addition, a siding and several track sockets were created.

The route describes the north head south first a straight line m in a left turn of 5300 turning radius turns. Another straight line then follows up to the adjacent Sinnberg tunnel. The gradient drops in the entire course of the station in a southerly direction with a continuous 1.5 per thousand.

In the larger-scale view, the planned depot could only find space at its current location due to numerous constraint points (development of the villages Obersinn, Mittelinn and Burgsinn, the course of the river Sinn , the north-south route and the 2304 state road ). The location of the station is determined in the west by the existing Flieden – Gemünden line and the river bed der Sinn, in the east by a steep mountain slope. East of the plant was one to m to 40 deeper incision built in horizontal layering in fractured red sandstone and Tonsteinlagen. Approximately in the middle of the station, on the west side, there is a signal box.

The depot is about three kilometers south of the Burgsinn passenger station. The Burgsinn Tunnel connects to the north and the Sinnberg Tunnel to the south .

history

planning

The current location was ideal from a structural and operational point of view, as it enables a particularly favorable combination of new and old lines. The exact altitude was the subject of in-depth investigations.

construction

Construction work began in 1980. The Ebersberger company was commissioned ; the order total was 10.5 million Deutschmarks. In the planning and construction phase, the station was in the area of construction kilometers 266,000 to 268,700.

The station was one of the first major structures on the high-speed line to be built. The red sandstone banks were removed bank by bank according to the weakness of the rock and a step structure was created. For its construction, 900,000 m³ of mass were moved, of which 250,000 m³ was rock ( red sandstone ). The excess masses were deposited on the Neuserts landfill.

Tracks and points were already in place at the depot in August 1985 . The track construction in the southern section Fulda – Würzburg began in the depot with the laying of the connecting tracks from the existing line. From there, the tracks of the new line were then driven in both directions.

A biotope was created next to the train station .

Originally, remote control of the signal box from the central signal box in Würzburg was planned. A local operating device should enable local operation during construction and maintenance work. The signal box, which is still operated locally (as of 2009), officially went into operation on May 9, 1988.

  • Construction status in May 1985: The slope has already been greened, the subgrade has been laid and the signal box is under construction

  • In April 1986 the continuous main tracks were laid. The southern connection to the existing line is not yet connected to it.

  • Several test trains, including the InterCityExperimental , for trial operation in the southern section of the line in the station (1987)

  • Control panel of the Burgsinn signal box (1988)

In the mid-1980s, a 6 × 1.60 m model railway system was exhibited in the Nuremberg Transport Museum, showing the planned section between Burgsinn and Gemünden am Main on a scale of 1: 220.
