  • abbreviation
  • Surname
  • Art

abbreviation

The abbreviation is usually formed from the location of the operating location, the location and type of the operating location.

In the first place, an identification letter describes the regional location of the operating site. This is for German operating units derived from the early Bundesbahndirektion (BD) or Reichsbahndirektion (Rbd). This is usually the first letter of the former head office. For example: H for Hanover, F for Frankfurt, M for Munich. In the case of double occupancy in Essen / Erfurt, Hanover / Halle, Saarbrücken / Stuttgart / Schwerin and Cologne / Karlsruhe, a free letter was selected as the code letter for the latter.

In the following, the operating location is coded with a unique abbreviation. This ranges from one letter as in MA for the regional directorate Munich - Augsburg to four letters in the EMSTP regional area Essen - Münster (Westphalia) passenger station .

Operating units of foreign countries are under the symbols X and Z listed. In the second place a country code is given. For example, is XDKH for abroad range X - Denmark - Koebenhavn H .

Changes in route are designated with a Y in the first place .

An X at the end of the abbreviation, on the other hand, indicates a repair shop, e.g. B. LDX (AW Dessau), KKROX (AW Krefeld-Oppum). You can see these abbreviations e.g. B. in the so-called revision grid of locomotives and wagons. These indicate which repair shop the respective rail vehicle is assigned to and when it was last checked.

Austria

Just like the DB in Germany, the ÖBB in Austria also have a list of abbreviations for their operating points. This "directory of the operating point codes" is also known by its abbreviation DB 640 ("Dienstbehelf 640").

Switzerland

In Switzerland, the Federal Office of Transport gives each public transport stop , i.e. railways, trams, buses, ships, cable cars, etc., unique names. These are published in the service documentation, DIDOK for short. This also contains the abbreviations of the individual railway departments used by the railway companies in Switzerland.

Liechtenstein

Like Austrian stations, Liechtenstein stations have an internal station number starting with 81 (IBNR).

Sweden

In Sweden there is also a list of abbreviations for train stations.

United States

The American railroad company Amtrak also uses a code for its stations. This so-called “station code” consists of three letters, but should not be confused with the IATA code for airports or train stations .
