Series scheme of the ÖBB

from Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

The series scheme of the ÖBB was created in 1953 based on the series scheme of the kkStB and BBÖ on the one hand and the series scheme of the Deutsche Reichsbahn on the other.

Steam locomotives

Standard gauge locomotives

As the era of steam-powered vehicles was coming to an end (the last scheduled train pulled by steam locomotives ran on Austrian standard-gauge tracks - apart from steam operation on the Erzberg  - but not until December 31, 1976), it was decided not to restore the series scheme of the kkStB and BBÖ for steam locomotives , but essentially to keep the scheme of the Deutsche Reichsbahn . This also in order to spare the staff a further change. In principle, the series designation should have four digits, with the steam locomotives having the "0" as a thousand digit. However, the leading zeros were not written on the steam locomotives.

The series designations introduced by the DR remained with the exception of the 98 series. These were assigned to the narrow-gauge locomotives. The standard gauge local railroad locomotives were classified as freight tender locomotives. This resulted in the following scheme:

Hundreds of digits were used as with the kkStB and BBÖ to identify differences in design. There was:

  • 0–5 : former Austrian designs, standard and war locomotives of the DR
  • 6–8 : German state railways
  • 9 : other types of construction of foreign origin

Tenders were reassigned their former BBÖ designation with the prefix “ 9 ”.

The ÖBB did not procure any new standard gauge steam locomotives, so no new rows had to be added to this scheme.

Narrow gauge locomotives

For narrow-gauge locomotives, the series 98 and 99 were defined with hundreds of digits indicating the corresponding design differences. There was:

  • 1–5 : former Austrian narrow-gauge rows
  • 6–9 : Narrow gauge locomotives of German origin ( Heeresfeldbahn )

The 999 series was reserved for narrow-gauge rack-and-pinion locomotives.

In addition, index digits were used again (see  series scheme of the kkStB and BBÖ ).

The cogwheel steam locomotives newly acquired by ÖBB in 1996 for the Schafbergbahn were given the series designation 999.2 .

Electric locomotives

After the Second World War , the ÖBB introduced a new designation system for electric locomotives in 1953, which differed significantly from the series scheme of the kkStB and BBÖ and that of the DR . From the series scheme of the kkStB and BBÖ it was adopted that the series number was specified as four digits, with electric locomotives being assigned a "1" as a thousand digit. The scheme looked like this:

  • 1001–1019 : Express locomotives
  • 1020–1039 : Freight locomotives
  • 1040-1059 : Locomotives for mixed use (universal locomotives)
  • 1060-1069 : shunting locomotives
  • 1070-1089 : remains vacant and is initially occupied with old locomotives
  • 1090-1099 : Narrow gauge locomotives

Differences in design are reflected in the hundreds or in index numbers . If the hundreds digit is an "8", it is a series of locomotives that can be operated with both direct and alternating current (e.g.  ÖBB 1822 ).

However, this scheme has recently been weakened. For example, the 1042, which was converted to be suitable for push-pull trains, was given the new series designation 1142 . The newly acquired universal locomotives of the ÖBB, which should actually have been given a number in the range 1040-1059, were classified as 1016 and 1116 (multi-system). The variant that is also suitable for direct current, which should then actually be called "1846" or "1847", was assigned the number 1216 .

Internal combustion engine locomotives

For the combustion engine locomotives, the ÖBB created a scheme that was similar to that for electric locomotives. Based on the series scheme of the kkStB and BBÖ , it had four digits and reserved the " 2 " as a thousand digit for combustion engine locomotives. It now looks like this:

  • 2000–2039 : large mainline locomotives
  • 2040–2059 : Mainline locomotives for mixed use (universal locomotives for passenger and freight trains)
  • 2060–2070 : shunting locomotives
  • 2090–2099 : narrow-gauge locomotives

Steam railcar

For steam railcar which provided ÖBB also on a four-digit scheme, the thousands digit as " 3 has been set." There were only series 3041 and 3071 .

Electric railcars

Electric railcars were also given a four-digit scheme, with the thousand digit being set as " 4 ". Control cars and intermediate cars also have a four-digit serial number, the thousand digit of which is " 6 " or " 7 ".

  • 4000–4019 : express railcars for city traffic
  • 4020–4039 : Express rail car for inner-city and suburban traffic
  • 4040–4060 : old series
  • 4090-4099 : narrow gauge

A machine designed as a baggage locomotive for light city traffic was initially classified as 4061 , but was later assigned the series number 1046 .

Internal combustion engine railcars

The ÖBB created a four-digit scheme for its internal combustion engine railcars, whereby the thousand digit was set as " 5 ". Control cars and intermediate cars also have a four-digit serial number, the thousand digit of which is " 6 " or " 7 ". Numbers 5090–5099 are reserved for narrow-gauge vehicles . Most of the standard gauge railcars put into service came into the 40 group of the scheme.

Computer numbers

From 1986 vehicle numbers were to be written in computer-readable form. At ÖBB , this is an eight-digit number consisting of the four-digit serial number, the three-digit serial number and a check digit separated by a hyphen. The check digit is calculated from the first seven digits. For this purpose, the cross sum of the sequence of digits is formed, which results when the seven digits are alternately multiplied by 2 and 1 (first digit with 2, second with 1, third again with 2, etc.); the difference between this checksum and the next multiple of ten forms the check digit. When entering into the computer , a plausibility check is carried out using the check digit , which detects , for example, falling digits .

According to a UIC regulation that has yet to be adopted, a twelve-digit vehicle number is to be written on the side walls of locomotives in the future, which should consist of a two-digit number describing the type of locomotive, the two-digit country code and the eight-digit number described above, with the calculation the check digit extends over all eleven other digits. In return, only the four-digit serial number and the three-digit serial number (i.e. without the check digit) should then be found on the front of the locomotive. The first locomotives to be registered according to this regulation were the ÖBB 1216er . The number of 1216.141 on the side wall is approximately 91 81 1216 141-2 .
