Materiale rotabile ferroviario - Germania: libri illustrati - panoramiche

German Traction

La Germania, per la sua posizione geografica e le sue dimensioni, ospita un vasto numero di diverse tipologie di trazione. Il principale operatore è DB, che gestisce un'enorme quantità di servizi, sia merci che passeggeri, ancora trainati da locomotive.

Per quanto riguarda il trasporto passeggeri, la maggior parte dei principali centri regionali mantiene servizi a trazione diesel, che vanno dalle classi 111 alle classi 143 e 146, mentre il servizio InterCity è operato da locomotive elettriche di classe 101.
Molti treni passeggeri espressi sono stati convertiti a trazione a combustione interna (ICE). Esistono ancora anche alcuni schemi di locomotive diesel, perlopiù in uso sulle locomotive della Classe 218, dislocate principalmente nei dintorni di Ulm e Monaco di Baviera.

Per quanto riguarda il trasporto merci, esiste un gran numero di linee gestite sia da DB che da numerose aziende private.
Le principali locomotive DB utilizzate sono le locomotive TRAXX della Classe 185, nonché le locomotive delle Classi 145 e 152, sebbene si possano ancora ammirare alcune grandi locomotive diesel, in particolare le locomotive della Classe 232, note come Ludmilla.

Dopo la riunificazione della Germania, molte locomotive provenienti dalla Germania dell'Est iniziarono a comparire in Occidente e viceversa, e gli appassionati hanno sempre la garanzia di poter ammirare un'ampia varietà di locomotive in azione.

Questo libro di Andrew Cole offre una panoramica delle locomotive utilizzate sulle ferrovie tedesche.

Deutschlands Lokomotiven und Triebwagen - Das Verzeichnis aller deutschen Fahrzeugtypen 1925 bis 1970

This "Verzeichnis Deutscher Lokomotiven and Triebwagen" offers a comprehensive overview of the inventory of German vehicle types, which is difficult even for specialists to keep track of and is not presented in this form in the existing literature.

After the legendary first work "Maey/Born" in the 1920s and the long out of print "List of German Locomotives 1923-1963", this is the first complete list. It begins with the renumbering of the state railway locomotives in 1925 and extends for the first time to the system of computer numbers of DB and DR up to 1970.

The renowned railway historian Andreas Knipping presents for the first time an overall assessment of the historical German numbering system, which was created for the steam locomotive and had to make way for a vehicle fleet dominated by electric and diesel vehicles.
In addition to an overview of all locomotive numbers assigned by DRB, DB and DR, the book contains comprehensive data, facts and over 300 photographic vehicle portraits.

Bergsteiger - Zahnrad- & Standseilbahnen in Deutschland

They have cult status among most holidaymakers: cogwheel and funicular railways have been ensuring a sweat-free ascent to numerous German peaks for many decades.
Mostly because of the beautiful view, but sometimes also as an important means of transport, such as the "Zacke" to Degerloch in Stuttgart and the cable car to the Waldfriedhof. Although the still existing railways were modernized in the 1990s at the latest, their very own charm has been retained.

With current and many historical photos, this book provides a detailed presentation of the railways between Drachenfels and Zugspitze. A trip on these railways opens up a whole new dimension.
