Gennem 45 år var Gjerrildbanenen livline gennem det nordøstligeDjursland. Toget erstattede de langsommehestevogne, og indbyggernefik nye muligheder for at rejselokalt eller videre ud i landet. Manrejste til familiebesøg, på ferietur,til dyrskuer, til Grenaa for at gå ibiografen og meget mere. Tusindvisaf Grenaa-borgere kørte på udflugttil Gjerrild, hvor der var kro og afholdshotelsamt store skove. Fleregenerationer af unge rejste dagligttil Ryomgård for at få undervisningpå byens private realskole. Banensgodstrafik gav nye muligheder, ogflere byer skylder Gjerrildbanen sineksistens. Gravning af tørv ved Stenvadskabte industri og en by vedstationen. Tømmer fra de storeskove ved Meilgaard Gods ogSostrup blev sendt med banen,og et savværk blev etableret iTranehuse. Kystfiskerne ved Fjellerupog Bønnerup sendte fiskhelt til Nordtyskland. Landmændmodtog foderstoffer og gødning,mens dyr blev sendt til slagteriet.Fra Gjerrild Nordstrand blev derunder Besættelsen sendt enormemængder ral og grus til støbningaf tyske forsvarsværker i Vestjylland.og flyvepladser ved Karupog TirstrupEfter Besættelsen voksede konkurrencenfra landevejstrafikken,og banens økonomi gjorde detumuligt at fortsætte.

The 2022 Southern Way Special Edition is the story of author Keith Dawe''s railway career which began in 1964 in the last years of Southern Region steam. Unlike many who joined the ranks of footplate crew, there was no railway tradition in his family. Keith was an academically bright student who gave up his schooling to follow the interest he always had in railways and the steam locomotive in particular. He joined the railway as a cleaner at Eastleigh shed when he was only 15, too young even to become a fireman.This memoir of those final years of steam at Eastleigh shed is packed with interesting and informative insights on those last years of SR steam, it is also an affectionate and well written recollection of a long gone era. Chapters deal with diverse topics, such as working both pick up goods trains and longer distance freight diagrams including the nightly services destined for Feltham yard in London. On the passenger side, among the topics covered are the workings through to Bournemouth and the boat trains which served Southampton Docks. The author also provides his personal assessment of the capabilities of many of the different steam classes on which he worked.Keith''s railway career was short lived as the steam railway he loved disappeared in 1967. He felt there was no future for him on the railway so in 1970 he left and returned to his studies. However, this memoir of his time at Eastleigh in those last years of steam is vivid and fascinating to read. All who are interested in SR steam and in that era of transition from steam to diesel and electric traction will thoroughly enjoy this latest Southern Way Special.

Pressure measurement films are an efficient tool to validate the shape and size of wheel-rail contact patches predicted by numerical simulations. However, accurate measurements are only possible if the alteration caused by the presence of the film between contact partners is considered. This work investigates the effect of several influential factors on the resulting deviation and presents a procedure to estimate the measurement error in wheel-rail contact.

Beskrivelse Otte år er gået siden den seneste bog i serien, og derfor er det blevet tid til en opdatering på især jernbanegodstrafikken i Danmark. Efter et historisk lavpunkt er godstransporten på skinner atter stigende, både hvad angår transitgods og varer til og fra destinationer i Danmark. Nye operatører er kommet til, mens andre har måttet dreje nøglen om, og i fremtiden vil signalprogrammet være en økonomisk udfordring for især de mindre selskaber. Udover godstog ser bogen også nærmere på, hvad der har rørt sig på andre områder af jernbanen, herunder lokalbanerne, veterantog og lidt nyheder fra vore nabolande. Som tidligere afrundes bogen på togkirkegården, der ikke længere er forbeholdt gammelt udtjent materiel, men også nyere fejlslagent materiel.

In der norddeutschen Metropole betreibt die HOCHBAHN das zweitgrößte U-Bahn-Netz des Landes. Dazu kommt wie in Berlin ein von der Deutschen Bahn betriebenes und mit seitlicher Stromschiene ausgerüstetes S-Bahn-Netz. Straßenbahnen fahren in der Hansestadt seit 1978 nicht mehr, trotzdem werfen wir auch einen Blick auf dieses Verkehrsmittel. // In the northern metropolis, the HOCHBAHN operates Germany's second largest U-Bahn system. Like in Berlin, this is complemented by an S-Bahn network run by Deutsche Bahn and equipped with a third-rail power supply. Since 1978, the hanseatic city has not had any trams, but nonetheless, we also take a look at the history of this means of urban transport.

Die französische Hauptstadt bietet Freunden des städtischen Schienennahverkehrs viel mehr als die weltbekannte "Métro", die derzeit übrigens im großen Stil in den Außenbezirken erweitert wird. Als "RER" verkehrt auch eine S-Bahn weit über die Stadtgrenzen hinaus und fast genauso dicht ist das übrige Netz an Vorortlinien ("Transilien"). Dazu kommen mittlerweile 11 teils voneinander getrennte Straßenbahnlinien, darunter zwei von SNCF betriebene "Tram-Train"-Strecken und zwei "Translohr"-Linien, also Straßenbahnen auf Gummireifen. Das Bild wird abgerundet durch zwei VAL-Systeme, d.h. fahrerlose Kleinprofilmetros zum Anschluss der beiden Großflughäfen. Christoph Groneck stellt in diesem zweisprachigen Buch alle Schienenverkehrsmittel vor, mit einem Überblick über die jeweilige Entstehungsgeschichte sowie den dort eingesetzten Fahrzeugen. In Atlas-Form findet der Leser am Ende des Buchs detaillierte Netzpläne des gesamten Großraums von Paris, in dem rund 10 Mio. Menschen leben. // The French capital has much more to offer to urban rail enthusiasts than the world-famous "Métro", which is currently being expanded on a large scale in the outer areas of the Paris conurbation. There is also the "RER" with frequent cross-city trains that run far beyond the city limits on a network complemented by a series of radial suburban lines classified as "Transilien". In addition, there are now 11 tram lines, some of them isolated from each other, including two "Tram-Train" routes, operated by SNCF, and two "Translohr" lines, which feature trams on rubber tyres. The transport scene is rounded off by two VAL systems, i.e. driverless small-profile metros that connect the two major airports. In this bilingual book, author Christoph Groneck presents every means of urban rail transport, giving an overview of the respective history of each system and the vehicles used. At the end of the book, the reader will find detailed maps in the form of an atlas of the entire metropolitan area of Paris, which is home to some 10 million people.

The performance of many railway networks and the quality of service offered is becoming more and more critical. The main issues to be addressed are the increasing traffic volumes and making the best use of the available capacity, at the same time resolving train scheduling and management problems.This is an updated, revised and extended edition of 'Railway Timetable & Traffic', published in 2008. It describes the state-of-the-art methods of railway timetabling and optimisation, capacity estimation, train operations analysis and modelling, simulation, rescheduling and performance assessment. The intention is to stimulate their broader application in practice and to highlight current and future research areas. It is directed at academics, Masters and PhD students, as well as professionals from the railway industry. It will also be of interest to the public authorities that tender, monitor and perhaps fund railway service provision. The overall aim is to improve the attractiveness and efficiency of the train services which can be offered to the public.The key to achieving a higher efficiency and quality of train operations is an awareness of the impact of availability, reliability and robustness of the subsystems on train processes. A deeper insight into the probability of incidents and the propagation of train delays depends on a thorough analysis of real world railway operations and the feedback obtainable. This leads to an optimisation of the timetable and a network-wide improvement in traffic management performance. This know-how should increase the efficiency of the railway system, making it more attractive for regular, occasional and new customers, and ensure that the railways continue to innovate. They will then be able to make the maximum contribution possible to the transport needs of the future.
