Overview station Kaliningrad - Sorting (47 photos)

This report has sent us our chitatela-krasnikov: Let's get started. This survey was done for a book on this very station, but the book, alas, did not work - Head of the station, make an order, was caught by the soft spot (waste) and just with the post ... Well, the book was covered with a copper basin. Pichal = (.



Station Kaliningrad - Sorting (name it is, and not, for example, & quot; ... - Sorting & quot;) is located at South Station ... however, local people already know this place, and all the other towns still do not understand). Here then, in short:


Taken from the Light Tower, in the frame bridge at the Kiev.


For each freight station constantly coming compositions. many compositions. In these compositions pile carriages, each of which has its own destination - some will here some goes to Moscow and some destined to reach France, for example. Again, in the same car will go to France not one, but assembled here a new composition. That's this post about how these same cars are sorted and shuffled =)


I used to think that they carried about here and there all there lokomotivchiki. Well, almost right. Composition to be sorted, and cling to the locomotive, he drags it diligently on a hill. "Hill" - is not something abstract, but it is a standard bulk hill. Here you can see.




Further into the act managers who need to tell and show everyone where a wagon or group of wagons to send. Dispatcher - is here:


Work there is responsibility, but something tells me very boring - judge for yourself, day and night to scatter wagons with coal for different branches. Bored quickly = (. But at first glance - interesting.








So, the manager finds out that where to send commands to the unhooked the car and starts to translate the arrow - to the car went to the desired composition.






You've probably noticed here on these things:


This, as you may guess, the brakes. The fact is that if the slide is not very high, the cars will crawl like sleepy flies and the case will move slowly. Therefore, the slides do with good height difference, but not to the extent overclocked trailers inhibit in this way:






After all these brakes is already noticeably quieter. Goes directly to them:




These people call severe shoemaker and are committed to completely inhibit the coming cars. Almost to a complete stop - that this is not a hefty bird moved into the rest of the structure with all the dope =). Brake with special "shoes." That is such:


Special shoe sixth placed under the wheel, the car comes over to him and some time drags on the wheel, creating friction on the rail and the brake so. Then the shoe comes off at a special slot, and the car continues to go further, but slower.










Sometimes the cars do not run to the basic structure and remain in splendid isolation =)


Nothing special about this - shunting locomotives then still have to "compress" the composition - so you can make the hitch.




Locomotives are many and they are constantly run hither and fro, carrying cars and delighting the eye.






After all that new, just-formed structure is sent to your Lisbon and at this station to forget about it =).

Actually, this is the scheme of all sorts of rail =). Nothing really a secret, but tight security measures - me, despite all the passes now and then tried to detain and transmit. It did not happen, Signature head of security - terrible force =).

And now a little bit modest bonuses. Here is the top platform standard lighting rigs.




In addition to shunting (which carry all this fuss fine) locomotives, immediately present and trunk - which bring and take away ready to make (and, in fact, carry out all transportation between cities and countries).




Not far from the whole process run hither usual terrific and diesel trains with passengers.




And everywhere something repaired, painted and repack.








Incidentally, I did not understand why it was necessary to paint the nuts red =).


Just a little bit images have just =).








That's something like that. Thank you for your attention =).
