Locomotive train
A locomotive train is a single locomotive or a series of coupled locomotives that run as a train without any other vehicles . The current technical term for this type of train is in Germany train ride , abbreviated Tfzf . Colloquially, the former abbreviation “Lz” is often used.
Locomotive trains are used to provide locomotives at train stations or other operating points where they are currently missing, for the transfer of locomotives or for special tasks, such as measurement runs .
Disused locomotives, e.g. B. dozens of examples of the 232 series , were often put together to form longer locomotive trains and transferred in this form to the scrapping plant.
