Before you get your approval to run the service on a signal box, you need to find out about the local characteristics. After training as a general trainee signalman, dispatchers were always paired with a person skilled in the signal box. This chapter is the brief introduction to the area. Read it carefully. It contains very important information.

The text is "peer to peer" written as if you are in the signal box, the first day after training.

Have a more detailed look at the Sp Dr S 600-Zentralstellwerk Fulda panel here.

Zentralstellwerk Fulda

Lines

We have a total of 5 lines in the dispatching area of our Power Signal Box (PSB). Those are:

• Line 1733 : High speed line Hannover–Würzburg
• Line 3600 : Bebra - Fulda
• Line 3700 : Gießen–Fulda (Vogelsbergbahn)
• Line 3600 : Fulda - Hanau (Kinzigtalbahn)
• Line 3824 : Fulda Bronnzell – Gersfeld (Rhönbahn)

Neighbouring Dispatching Areas

Let's have a look at our neighbouring dispatchers:

High-speed line Hannover–Würzburg (green line)

The high-speed line (SFS) Hannover - Würzburg is the longest newly constructed line in Germany and was built in the period 1973-1991. The section Fulda - Würzburg was taken into service on 27 May 1988. The section Fulda - Kassel was was taken into service in 1991. GWB (left hand running) is set up on the entire route. Pre-setting the block direction is also possible for the entire line. The maximum allowed line speed in regular traffic is 280 km/h, but in tunnels this is limited to 250 km/h. From time to also test drives with new trains take place here. On 01 May 1988, the ICE Experimental set a new world record at 406.9 km/h between Fulda and Würzburg.

On the bottom left, the SFS tracks 694/695 connect us with Mottgers. Our neighbor here is the dispatcher Burgsinn, who remotely controls the station of Mottgers. Both tracks are equipped with GWB. Our dispatching area begins at the end of the Schwarzenfelstunnel (tracks 662/692). Trains are offered using fields 663 and 664.

At the bottom center, the high-speed line continues into the direction of Hanover via tracks 594/595 (Witzelhöhetunnel). Our neighbor here is the dispatcher Kirchheim, who is remotely controls the adjoining station of Langenschwarz. Our dispatching area begins, seen from the direction of Hanover, at Üst Michelsrombach (tracks 503/533). Both tracks are equipped with GWB. Trains are offered using fields 594 and 595.

Hanau - Fulda (Kinzigtalbahn) (yellow line - leftside)

Tracks 425/426 connect us to Neuhof, where are neigbor dispacther Neuhof is located. The line splits at Flieden into the direction of Frankfurt and a line towards Wurzburg. On both tracks GWB is set up. Offering trains to Neuhof can be done using the fields 494 and 495.

Fulda Bronnzell – Gersfeld (Rhönbahn)

Track 455 connects us to Gersfeld. Our neighbor there is dispatcher Gersfel. Trains towards Gersfeld must be offered by telephone. The switch connecting to this branch line (switch 100) has a maximum speed limit of 40 km/h in diverging position. So pay attention on how and when you fit in trains to or from Gersfeld, without having to delay other trains. This line only sees passenger services operated by the Hessische Landesbahn with rolling stock of type LINT. The yellow track numbers are a reminder telling that this line is not electrified. Therefor, you must operate FfrT befor setting the trains route into the direction of Gersfeld. When using the Conrol Monitor enter "F,Pxxx.445I" for setting such train route.

Stations and Sidings

High-speed line Hannover–Würzburg (green line)

A total of 4 PSB's with 5 crossovers on the high-speed line are remotely controlled from our signal box. The interlocking systems there are of type Lorenz MC L 84 N, which has been specifically designed for high-speed lines. They are an evolution of the type MC L 84, wherein the N behind the name stands for "new line" is. One of the pecularrities of this system is that when locking switches, the opposite switch is automatically locked as well. In addition, no alternative routes can be set, which is possible with other interlocking types along the SFS. The switches can be traveled at 130 km/h in diverging position.

Sinntal Landrücken Süd (Üst) (FLRS)

The crossover (Üst) Landrücken Süd and Landrücken Nord are both located in Germany's longest tunnel, the Landrückentunnel (10.779m long). The maximum allowed line speed in the tunnel is 250 km/h. The crossover (Üst) has its own PSB of type MC L 84 N.

Kalbach Landrücken Nord (Üst) (FLRN)

The crossover (Üst) Landrücken Nord has its own PSB of type MC L 84 N.

Neuhof Hartberg (Üst) (FHAG)

The crossover (Üst) Hartberg has its own PSB of type MC L 84 N.

Dietershan (Üst) (FDIE)

The crossover (Üst) Dietershan has its own PSB of type MC L 84 N. It remotely controls the Üst Michelsrombach.

Michelsrombach (Üst) (FMIR)

The Üst Michelsrombach is remotely controlled from the PSB of Üst Dietershan.

Fulda

Bf Fulda (FFU)

Here we have the passenger station of Fulda. Let's look at the station area from top to bottom. In the passenger station a maximum speed of 100 km/h is allowed, except for tracks 1, 2, 5, 8 and 9.

Tracks 36-38 are platform tracks, without catenary, for the trains of private operator HLB to/from Maberzell.

Almost all the trains of the RE-service Fulda <-> Frankfurt are scheduled to arrive or depart from track 1. The trains consist mostly of a BR 114 loc with some Dosto wagons. But from time to time we see a BR 111 in this service. Track 1 is also used for some terminating services of the Cantus (CAN) from Kassel / Göttingen. In case of delays you might need to schedule the arrival on an other track instead. So your experience and overview is needed then!

Track 2/102 has no platform. If the switches 282 and 287 are occupied, you can accommodate up to 777m here. Remember, however, that the RE departing from track 1 at xx:08 , is normally routed over the middle switches of track 2/102 to get to 253. If necessary, you can let the RE depart via track 252 and then route it to track 353. We do that pretty often. To/From track 252 via track 2/102 speed is limited to 80 km/h. Speed limits into track 1 and 2 , coming from entrance signal Q73, is limited to 60 km/h.

Tracks 3 and 4 are platform tracks. Track 3 is used for the passenger trains coming from the direction of Götzenhof. Track 4 is normally used for trains coming from the high-speed line from Kassel. It is still important to mention that the switch connection between track 3 and 4 (switches 304 and 313) can be driven at max 40 km/h. So it makes more sense to route trains coming from Götzenhof, and which need to go to track 4, via the train routes F93.Q74 and Q74.S4, allowing 100 km/h, instead of routing it via F93.Q73 and Q73.S4 allowing 40 km/h only.

Track 5 is again a track without platforms, can be used to overhaul freight trains. Trains with up to 734m will fit in this track. Additionaly , entry and exit of track 5 can be done at 80 km/h, so certainly the better option and also much more frequently used alternative to platform tracks 2/102.

Track 6 and 7 are platform tracks for trains travelling towards the north. Trains running on the high-speed line towards Kassel have their stops on track 6. Trains heading into the direction of Götzenhof are scheduled on track 7.

Platform track 8 and 9 are used for the trains services of private operators HLB (to/from Gersfeld) and Cantus (CAN) (to/from Bebra and Göttingen) starting and ending in Fulda. The HLB trains beginning and ending lines of HLB from / to Gersfeld and the CAN (Cantus) from / to Bebra and Göttingen. The trains of the HLB are scheduled on track 9, the CAn trains use track 8. Track 8 can also be used for running around trains which have arrived on track 7. Speed limit on track 8 is 80 km/h, maximum allowed speed on track 9 is 40 km/h. Avoid using track 9, other then using it for the HLB tracks, as the low allowed speed their could hold up other traffic.

A Tunnelrettungszug (Tunnel Rescue train) is stbled on track 10. The rescue train has to perform condition rides so now and then. Sometimes one of locs of this trains needs to go to the feuling point as well.

Fulda Gbf (FFU G)

The freight station of Fulda was once an important container and express freight terminal for the region. Nowadays there are still many tracks available, but they are mainly used for overhauling freight trains. Only a few freight trains end and begin in this freight station. For example, the kali trains to the kali factory in Neuhof. At night, the IC and ICE trains ending in Fulda Pbf are stabled in this yard.

In the southern part of the freight yard there is another Dr S 600-signalbox, used for shunting over the hump. That former dispatching area there is shown in dark grey on our panel.

The former container terminal can be reached via tracks 130 and 402. The Kali wagons for Neuhof arrive from where, before they are assembled together in the freight yard. Track 245 is electrified for only the first 150 m behind signal O245. Only train movements towards Bebra can start here. Trains are normally prepared using a dieselloc. Then aan E-loc picks up the train and departs from O245 into the direction of the passenger station. All other tracks are electrified.

Tracks 246 upto 250 are limited to speeds of 40 km/h. track 251, which is also the longest track in the Gbf, can be driven at 60 km/h, and track 252 which is normally used for train movements for the RE services from Frankfurt towards Fulda 1, allows speeds of 80 km/h.

Tracks 257 and 258 both officialy belong to the area Bft W123. Track 258 is used for overhauling. Allowed track speed is 80 km/h. This track should not be used for personnel change of freight trains, as the driver will have to cross all main tracks by foot, which brings a potential risk for accidents. As we can not always lock tracks, due to the high traffic density, personnel changes should be done at the passengeer station of the freight station (tracks 246 through 251).

Des weiteren bietet das Gleis 258 die letzte Möglichkeit Züge von der gelben Strecke nach Gleis 1 bis 6 zu bekommen. Wenn man durch 257 fährt, kommt man nur noch nach Gleis 7 bis 9. Solltet ihr euch also mal vertan haben an den Einfahrsignalen A42x und einen Zug aus versehen auf die gelbe Strecke in Richtung Pbf geschickt haben, nehmt ihr am besten X337.O258B als Fahrstraße. Das B bei Signal O258 lenkt den D-Weg nach links auf die grüne Strecke. Ab O258 geht es dann mit 40 km/h links rüber.

Fulda Gbf (W 123) (FFU W)

Fulda Abstellung

Abstellung Nord is the stabling area on the northside of Fulda Pbf

Turn around tracks 57 and 58

Fulda SFS Nord (FFU N)

The station area"SFS North" refers to the northern area of ​​the station, where the North-South line from Bebra and the high-speed line from Kassel meet. Here you also the possibility to route the trains into the correct direction. All switches in this part of the railway station are 100 km/h switches.

Track 64 does not have a main signal for the northern directions. Therefor signals Z4 and Z5 can act as exit signals as well.

Signal N47 does have auto fleeting, but no Zuglenkung. When auto fleeting is enabled for N47, a route towards signal 88 into the direction of Götzenhof will be set. It is advised to disable auto fleeting for signals Z7 and N47 in case you have a train on track 7-9 which needs to be routed onto the SFS towards Kassel. Otherwise Z7 would set a route towards N47 with overlap route into the direction of Götzenhof. To avoid this, set your route onto the SFS with the command Z7.N47B . The overlap route will be diverging to the left in this case. This will give an auto fleeting alarm of Z6, in the event that you have a train entering into track 6, as the overlap route for Z6.N66 is blocked by the overlap route of Z7.N47B.

Fulda Bronnzell – Gersfeld (Rhönbahn)

Fulda Bronzell

Trains towards Gersfeld have to be offered by telephone to dispatcher Gersfeld prior to sending the train out of Fulda. The line towards Gersfeld is not electrified.

Fulda - Bebra (yellow line - rightside)

Between Fulda and our neighboring dispatcher Haunetal-Neukirchen we have the stations Götzenhof, Marbach, Hünfeld and Burghaun. In the dispatchung area of Götzenhof, all switches, signals and buttons have a 7xx number. All 8xx items belong to the station of Marbach station, and finally the 9xx items to Hünfeld and Burghaun. This makes it very easy to recognize to which the dispatching area a certain switch, button, signal or track belongs.

Götzenhof (FGHF)

Götzenhof is a station without platforms. This remotely controlled station has a Dr S 2 signalbox without switch chain. This means, that switches must be thrown manually by using the switch button + WT button, or when using the control monitor (DET) with the command WU, 7xx!

You might also notice that Götzenhof only has tracks 703-705. The tracks 701 and 702, back then presented on the panel above track 703, where taken out of service in 1993 and finally removed in 1995. In the past, Götzenhof was teh starting point of the single track Biebertalbahn towards Hilders. Because of dismantling those two tracks, some switches are no longer on the panel either, which explains teh "jump" in the switch numbers. Switches in Götzenhof are 60 km/h switches. The passing loop (705) offers space for freight trains with a length of 754m.

Track 705 is mainly used for overtaking freight trains towards Frankfurt by other traffic. Also, when a personel change is scheduled in Fudla, but the replacing driver hasn't announced himself, this station is a good place to take the trin to the side for a moment.

Left hand running (GWB) is possibel towards Fulda as well towards Marbach. Presetting the direction is only possible towards Fulda as this line is equipped with Zentrallblock 600. The open line towards Marbach is equipped with Selbstblock 59.

Götzenhof untill 1995:

Marbach (Kr Fulda) (FMR)

Marbach ist ein Überholbahnhof ohne Bahnsteige. Der von Fulda aus ferngesteuerte Bahnhof hat ein Dr S 2 Stellwerk ohne Weichenlaufkette. Das heisst, dass die Weichen von Hand umgestellt werden müssen mit der WGT + WT, oder über die DET mit Befehl WU,8xx!

Die Weichen 801 und 802 am nördlichen Bahnhofskopf können abzweigend mit 60 km/h befahren werden. Alle anderen Weichen lassen abzweigend nur 40 km/h zu. In Gleis 801 ist Platz für Züge mit einer Länge von bis zu 746m und in Gleis 804 von bis zu 728m.

GWB ist sowohl nach Götzenhof, als auch nach Hünfeld eingerichtet. Die freie Strecke ist mit Selbstblock 59 ausgestattet

Hünfeld (FHUE)

Der Bahnhof Hünfeld wird ebenfalls von Fulda aus ferngesteuert. Vor Ort ist ein Dr S 60-Stellwerk vorhanden. Von Hünfeld aus wird außerdem der Bahnhof Burghaun ferngestellt. Hünfeld hatte zu seinen besten Zeiten 6 Hauptgleise und 2 bis 3 Gleise für Rangierarbeiten. Eine Güterabfertigung und ein Lokschuppen waren auch angebunden. In Hünfeld zweigte außerdem "Die Bimbel" ab, eine Nebenbahn über Wenigentaft ins thüringische Mansbach. Der Personenverkehr ab Hünfeld wurde 1976 und der Güterverkehr am 31. Dezember 1991 eingestellt. Seitdem wurden die alten Gleisanlagen kontinuierlich zurückgebaut. Gleis 906 wurde erst vor wenigen Jahren abgebaut. Heute hat der Bahnhof nur noch die Bahnsteiggleise 902 bis 905, die jeweils mit 2 Mittelbahnsteigen zwischen Gleis 902 und 903, sowie Gleis 904 und 905 ausgestattet sind. Es ist hier also ohne weiteres möglich haltende Reisezüge in die Überholgleise zu fahren. Im Überholgleis 902 ist Platz für Züge mit einer Länge von bis zu 749m. In Gleis 905 passen 699m rein. Da die Außenanlage des BÜ 127 jedoch nicht mehr vorhanden ist und Gleis 950 (was noch ein Relikt der abzweigenden Weiche nach Gleis 906 ist) eine Länge von 51m hat, es ist jedoch möglich nordwärts fahrende Züge mit einer Länge von bis zu 750m nach Gleis 905 zu fahren.

Im Bahnhof Hünfeld können alle Weichen abzweigend mit 60 km/h befahren werden.

Der Bahnhof Hünfeld besitzt außerdem einen radarüberwachten Bahnhübergang (BÜ 128). Der BÜ 127 ist nur noch auf unserer Stellwand vorhanden. Der Bahnübergang als solches existiert wie bereits erwähnt nicht mehr. Wird eine Fahrstraße eingestellt, so ist BÜ 127 für unsere Stellwerkstechnik sofort gesichert. Lediglich beim BÜ 128 (Breitzbacher Weg) muss eine gewisse Schließzeit einkalkuliert werden, bis die Hauptsignale in Fahrtstellung kommen können.

In Hünfeld halten die Züge der CAN zwischen Fulda und Bebra/Kassel, sowie die in der rush hour verkehrenden RE Frankfurt-Bebra. Auch einige wenige IC halten im Berufsverkehr in Hünfeld.

GWB ist in Richtung Marbach und auch nach Burghaun möglich. Die freie Strecke nach Marbach ist mit Selbstblock 59 ausgestattet, die Strecke nach Burghaun mit Zentralblock 65. Eine Besonderheit beim GWB nach Burghaun ist, dass hier keine EaGT bedient werden muss und auch keine EaT im Gleis vorhanden ist. Es reicht aus eine Fahrstraße in das entsprechende Gleis einzustellen, die Erlaubnis wechselt dann automatisch.

Burghaun (Kr Hünfeld) (FBUH)

Der Bahnhof Burghaun wird vom Stellwerk Hünfeld (Dr S 60) aus ferngestellt. Früher gab es noch das Gleis 953. Hier war der Bahnsteig für haltende Züge in Richtung Fulda. Gleis 952 war damals nur Durchfahrgleis. Heute haben die Gleise 951 und 952 Außenbahnsteige. In Burghaun halten nur die CAN die zwischen Fulda und Bebra/Kassel verkehren.

Die freie Strecke nach Hünfeld mit Zentralblock 65. Eine Besonderheit beim GWB nach Hünfeld ist, dass hier keine EaGT bedient werden muss und auch keine EaT im Gleis vorhanden ist. Es reicht aus eine Fahrstraße in das entsprechende Gleis einzustellen, die Erlaubnis wechselt dann automatisch. Nach Haunetal-Neukirchen ist kein GWB eingerichtet.

The additional end buttons near the exit signals exist due to the former presence of track 953. The end buttons N951B and N952B provide an entry route with short overlap route at max. 60 km/h, so that a entry or exit route to/from N953 could be set in parallel as well. The overlap route for end button P952B sets the overlap route into the conra track towards Hünfeld.
