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.

==Grundlagen==
== Introduction ==


Soso, du bist also der neue Kollege, wie? Na dann heiße ich dich erstmal herzlich willkommen, hier auf deinem neuen Einsatzort, dem Stellwerk Wuppertal Hbf, auch "Ef" genannt. "Ef" steht in diesem Fall für "Elberfeld Fahrdienstleiter", dem alten Namen des Hauptbahnhofs. Ach ja, mein Name ist Andreas und ich werde dir heute mal über die Finger schauen sowie dir die örtlichen Gegebenheiten näher erklären.
You are the dispatcher of Stellwerk Wuppertal Hbf, also known as "Ef". Wuppertal Hbf was once called "Dispatcher Elberfeld" and so it keeps its old abbreviation.


Von unserem Stellwerk "Ef" aus bedienen wir 2 Betriebsstellen, nämlich zum einen den Bahnhof Wuppertal Hbf selbst und den Güterbahnhof Wuppertal-Steinbeck. Dazu kommen noch die einzelnen Strecken selbst, die wir uns gleich noch genauer anschauen.
From signal box "Ef" we control two stations, namely Wuppertal Hbf itself and freight station Wuppertal-Steinbeck. Additionally, we are responsible for some lines which we'll discuss in a moment.


Durch den Wuppertaler Hbf selbst kommt jeder Zug, der durch das Tal der Wupper fährt. Einzige Ausnahme bildet hier die S-Bahn S68, diese endet bereits in Wuppertal-Vohwinkel. Früher gab es in Wuppertal-Steinbeck noch einen Abzweig nach Wuppertal-Cronenberg. Dies war der sogenannte Cronenberger Samba, der jedoch bereits 1988 stillgelegt und abgebaut wurde. Von dieser Strecke ist jedoch in unserem Stellbereich nichts mehr übrig.
Any train running through the valley of Wupper will go through Wuppertal Hbf. The only exception for this is the S-Bahn S68, which ends its service in Wuppertal-Vohwinkel. In Wuppertal Steinbeck there used to be a branch line towards Wuppertal-Cronenberg. This was the so-called Cronenberger Samba but it was closed down and dismantled in 1988. We can't see anything of that line on the panel anymore.


Doch nun zurück zur Tagesordnung, deine Einarbeitung. Zunächst schauen wir uns mal, wie bereits gesagt, an, welche Strecken durch unseren Stellbereich führen:
Now let's have a look on the lines and other points of interest of our signal box:


== Lines ==
== Lines ==


Beginnen wir mit der roten Strecke unten. Dies ist das '''Ferngleis''' und trägt die Streckennummer 2550. Diese zweigleisige Hauptbahn ist die Verbindung von Köln über Wuppertal nach Hagen. Planmäßig nutzen sämtliche Fernzüge sowie die RegionalExpress-Züge dieses Gleis. Planmäßige Reisehalte auf dieser Strecke gibt es nur links unten in Wuppertal-Barmen. Dieser Haltepunkt gehört jedoch bereits zum Stellbereich des [[Örtliche_Kenntnisse_für_Streckenzentralstellwerk_Wuppertal-Oberbarmen|Fdl "Of"]] Wuppertal-Oberbarmen (KWO).
Let's start with the red line at the bottom of the panel. This is the main line (Ferngleis) track and has line number 2550. This double track main line is the connection between Köln via Wuppertal towards Hagen. Normally only long distance and regional express trains use these tracks. On the open line there are only scheduled stops in Wuppertal-Barmen. This stop is part of the dispatching area of [[Dispatching in Streckenzentralstellwerk Wuppertal-Oberbarmen|dispatcher "Of"]] Wuppertal-Oberbarmen (KWO).

[[File:Pb kw ferngleis.png|none|800px|Fernbahn tracks]]


Directly above the red line you see the green line, which is also shown in the upper part of the panel. This is the S-Bahn line. This is a double-track electrified line, which connects Wuppertal-Vohwinkel (the station the lines S8 and S9 continue into different directions) via Wuppertal Hbf with Oberbarmen (where lines S8 and RB47 continue into different directions). The S-Bahn line is used by the already mentioned services S8, S9 and RB47. The paths of each of these lines can be found in the table below.


Direkt über der roten Strecke findest du auch noch die grüne Strecke, welche ebenfalls nochmal im oberen Teil des Stelltischs zu sehen ist. Dies ist das '''Ortsgleis''' oder auch '''S-Bahn-Gleis''' genannt. Dies ist ebenfalls eine zweigleisige, elektrifizierte Hauptbahn, welche Wuppertal-Vohwinkel (Trennungsbahnhof der Linien S8 und S9) über Wuppertal Hbf mit Wuppertal-Oberbarmen (Trennungsbahnhof der Linien S8 und RB47) verbindet. Planmäßig wird sie von den bereits genannten Linien S8, S9 und RB47 benutzt. Die Laufwege dieser einzelnen Linien findest du weiter unten in der Tabelle.
[[File:Pb kw sbahn.png|none|800px|S-Bahn tracks]]


[[File:Pb kw sbahn.png|none|800px|Ortsgleis/S-Bahn-Gleis]]
Above the S-Bahn line we have the line 2726 as well as freight yard (Gbf) Steinbeck. The line 2726 is a very short single track electrified branch line connecting the Zoologischer Garten with Gbf Steinbeck. This branch line is used to getting into, or out of, the freight yard.  
 
 
Nochmal etwas über dem Ortsgleis findest du die Strecke 2726 sowie den Gbf Steinbeck. Die Strecke 2726 ist eine sehr kurze, eingleisige elektrifizierte Nebenbahn und verbindet den Hp Zoologischer Garten mit dem Gbf Steinbeck. Diese wird als Zufahrt dorthin verwendet.

=== Diverting Options ===


* Bei Störungen im '''Ortsgleis''' in ''Richtung Oberbarmen'' ist es dir Problemlos möglich die Züge über die Fernbahn zu schicken, allerdings muss man beachten das dann der Haltepunkt Unterbarmen mangels Bahnsteige nicht angefahren werden kann. Das selbe gilt selbstverständlich auch für die Gegenrichtung.
* In case of disturbances on the '''S-Bahn''' into the direction of ''Oberbarmen'', you can easily divert the trains over the (red) mainline (Fernbahn). However, doing so means that the S-Bahn services will have to skip their stops at Unterbarmen, as there are no platform along the Fernbahn line. The same applies for the opposite direction.
* Bei Störungen im '''Ortsgleis''' in ''Richtung Vohwinkel'' gilt das gleiche, wie in Richtung Oberbarmen. Jedoch können dann die Haltepunkte Steinbeck, Zoologischer Garten und Sonnborn nicht bedient werden. Auch hier fehlen auf dem Ferngleis die Bahnsteige.
* The same applies for disturbances on the '''S-Bahn''' towards ''Vohwinkel''. In this case stops at Steinbeck, Zoologischer Garten and Sonnborn are not possible, as there are no platforms along the Fernbahn tracks at these stations.
* Falls es im '''Ferngleis''' in ''Richtung Oberbarmen'' mal hakt, kannst du die Züge natürlich auch übers Ortsgleis dorthin schicken, aber hier kann es sehr schnell eng werden mit der Kapazität. Dann ist gutes Disponieren deinerseits nötig.
* When the '''Fernbahn''' tracks ''towards Oberbarmen'' can not be used, we can divert the trains via the S-Bahn tracks towards Oberbarmen, though this might mean that we hit the capacity limits of these tracks. Good dispatching is required here then.
* Bei Problemen im '''Ferngleis''' in ''Richtung Vohwinkel'' gilt ebenfalls das selbe, wie im Ferngleis nach Wuppertal-Oberbarmen. Allerdings musst du gut darauf achten, das du deine Züge nur vor dem Wuppertaler Hbf auf das Ortgleis leiten kannst. In Richtung Vohwinkel gibt es hinter den Bahnsteigen keine Weichen mehr ins Ortsgleis.
* In case of problems on '''Fernbahn''' tracks ''towards Vohwinkel'', we could do the same as for into the direction of Oberbarmen. However, just must realise that you must redirect the trains onto the S-Bahn before they get into the station, as there are no switches after the station's platforms to do so.

Links unten siehst du die Gleise 123/148 (Ortsgleis) sowie die Gleise 139/140 (Ferngleis). Diese 4 Gleise kommen bzw. gehen nach Oberbarmen. Zwischen dem Hauptbahnhof und Oberbarmen liegt noch der Hp Barmen (Orts- und Ferngleis) sowie der Hp Unterbarmen (nur Ortsgleis). Diese beiden liegen jedoch bereits im Stellbereich des [[Örtliche_Kenntnisse_für_Streckenzentralstellwerk_Wuppertal-Oberbarmen|Fdl "Of"]] Wuppertal-Oberbarmen (KWO).
On the lower left you see the tracks 123/148 (S-Bahn) and the track 139/140 (Fernbahn). These 4 tracks are going to Oberbarmen. Between the main station (Hbf) and Oberbarmen, we have the halt Barmen (S-Bahn and Fernbahn) and Hp Unterbarmen (only S-Bahn). However, these two are already in the dispatching area of [[Dispatching in Streckenzentralstellwerk Wuppertal-Oberbarmen|signal box "Of"]] (KWO).


Rechts unten, also die Gleise 327/30 (Fernbahn), geht es dann weiter nach Vohwinkel (KWV). Hier ist die nächste Betriebsstelle auch der selbige Bahnhof Vohwinkel. Der zuständige Fahrdienstleiter sitzt auf dem [[Örtliche_Kenntnisse_für_Streckenzentralstellwerk_Wuppertal-Vohwinkel|Stellwerk "Vpf"]].
On the lower right you will find the tracks 327/30 (mainline), where it goes further towards Vohwinkel (KWV). That is the next operated point is the station of Vohwinkel. The dispatcher there is located in [[Dispatching in Streckenzentralstellwerk Wuppertal-Vohwinkel|signal box "Vpf"]].


Rechts oben findest du die Gleise 341/42. Dies ist die Verbindung des Ortsgleises nach Vohwinkel, dessen Bahnhof ebenfalls die nächste Betriebsstelle dieser Strecke ist.
You will find the tracks 341/42 on the upper right side of the panel. This is the connection of the S-Bahn to dispatching area of Vohwinkel, which is also the first station there.


Auf sämtlichen Gleisen von und nach Vohwinkel oder Oberbarmen ist '''kein''' GWB eingerichtet.
Bi-directional running between Wuppertal Hbf and Vohwinkel as well as between Wuppertal Hbf and Oberbarmen is not possible.

Wuppertal Hbf ist das eigentliche Herzstück des Stelltisches. Er verfügt über 5 Bahnsteiggleise, die an den beiden bereits genannten Strecken liegen. Die Gleise 1 und 2 sind für den Fern- und Regionalverkehr vorgesehen. Es halten die Züge der Linien RE4 (104XX), RE7 (107XX) und RE13 (202XX). Außerdem werden diese Gleise für die planmäßigen Durchfahrten der Güterzüge genutzt, welche ebenfalls über die Fernbahn fahren. Das Gleis 3 wird hauptsächlich vom Regionalverkehr der Linie RB48 genutzt, um hier zu wenden und zurück nach Köln oder Bonn-Mehlem zu fahren. Ansonsten wird Gleis 3 zusätzlich für Überholungen genutzt, die sich nicht nach Oberbarmen oder Vohwinkel verschieben lassen.
Wuppertal Hbf is the real heart of this panel. It has five platform tracks that lies along the two aforementioned lines. The tracks 1 and 2 are for the long-distance and regional trains. The trains of RE4 (104xx), RE7 (107XX) and RE13 (202XX) services halt here. In addition, these tracks are used for letting freight trains, running over the Fernbahn (mainline), pass throug. Track 3 is mainly used by the Regional trains of RB48 to turn around here and go back to Köln or Bonn-Mehlem. Otherwise, track 3 is also used for overhauls, in case that can not be done at Oberbarmen or Vohwinkel. The tracks 4 and 5 are for the S-Bahn trains and the RB47 trains. The S8 towards Vohwinkel has its scheduled stop on track 4, and track 5 for trains towards Oberbarmen. During weekdays (until evening), the S9 from Essen ends here and turns around on track 5. During the weekens and during the weekdays' evening hours, these service end and turn around on track 4. For the RB47 it is almost the opposite: During weekdays (until evening), these trains end here and turn around on track 4. During the weekens and during the weekdays' evening hours this service ends on track 5. From there they continue to track 23 to turn around there. Track 23 is not electrified, therefor you need to apply the [[Set Route To Track Without OLE Button|FfrT]] for setting a route into that track. Alternatively you can let them turnaround in Steinbeck 48 or 49. However, you must then change the movement orders accordingly and notify the driver as such.
Die Gleise 4 und 5 sind für den S-Bahn-Verkehr sowie für den Regionalverkehr der Linie RB47 vorgesehen. Die Linie S8 hält in Richtung Vohwinkel planmäßig auf Gleis 4 und in Richtung Oberbarmen auf Gleis 5. Zusätzlich endet und wendet unter der Woche, bis Abends, die Linie S9 aus Richtung Essen auf Gleis 5, und am Wochenende sowie Abends unter der Woche auf Gleis 4. Bei der Linie RB47 ist es fast andersherum, diese endet und wendet unter der Woche, ebenfalls bis Abends, auf Gleis 4. Am Wochenende sowie unter der Woche Abends endet sie jedoch auf Gleis 5 und fährt zum wenden nach Gleis 23. Dieses Gleis ist nicht elektrifiziert, daher musst du beim einstellen der Rangierfahrstraße die FfrT bedienen. Alternativ kannst du die Züge der RB47 auch mal in Steinbeck auf den Gleisen 48 oder 49 wenden lassen. Jedoch musst du dann die Rangieraufträge entsprechend ändern und dem Lokführer mitteilen.
 
Track 79 was used to stable trains. It has been removed a long while ago. As adjustments for this change would have too much impact for the panel, it had been to decided to take the track out of order and lock it permanently on the panel.


Der Wuppertaler Hbf selbst läuft im Regelfall komplett im Selbststellbetrieb (SB), da es viele häufig genutzte Fahrstraßen gibt, die sich sehr oft wiederholen. Für die wenigen Ausnahmen (z.B. RB47 oder RB48) darfst du allerdings dann nicht vergessen, rechtzeitig die Fahrstraße einzustellen, ehe dir der SB zuvorkommt und eine Fahrstraße anstößt. Falls du dir zu Dienstbeginn noch etwas unsicher bist, nimm lieber den SB an den Signalen raus. Aber denk daran, das du dann alles von Hand stellen musst. Das man den SB mit der [[Selbststellbetriebsrücknahmetaste#Benutzung | SBRT]] ausschaltet, weißt du ja sicher.
The Wuppertal main station normally runs with auto fleeting enabled (SB), as there is not much variety in most train routes. For the few exceptions (eg, RB47 or RB48) you must not forget to set the train route before you get beaten by the auto fleeting system. You could disable the auto fleeting of the signals, if you do not feel comfortable with this during your first shifts. But remember that everything has to be done manually then. The auto fleeting of a signal can be disabled using the [[Deactivate Fleeting Button|SBRT]], but you certainly knew that already.


Noch ein kleiner Hinweis: Wenn es Verspätungen gibt, kann es im Wuppertaler Hbf ganz schön hektisch werden. Man sollte aber immer ruhig bleiben ;-).
A little hint: If there are delays, things get pretty hectic in Wuppertal Hbf . But you should always try to stay calm ;-).

Der Güterbahnhof Steinbeck ist ein Bahnhofsteil des Hauptbahnhofs. Dieser hat jedoch die besten Zeiten bereits hinter sich, es gibt tagsüber nur noch eine Handvoll Züge, die dort verkehren. Zum Beispiel von Mo-Fr ein Zug von Köln-Kalk Gbf nach W-Langerfeld, welcher planmäßig im Gleis 66 Pause macht. Sollte dies mal gesperrt sein, kannst du natürlich auch jedes andere Gleis im Gbf nutzen.
The freight station Steinbeck Gbf is part of the main station. The freight yard has had its best days nowadays. During the daytime there are only a handful of trains running there. For example, from Monday to Friday, a train from Köln-Kalk Gbf to W-Langerfeld has its scheduled stop here on the track 66. In case this track is closed for whatever reason you can also use any other track in the yard. '''Attention!''' Do set your routes into the freight yard in time (see table below: Vohwinkel ➜ Gbf)
'''Achtung!''' Bitte auf den korrekten Fahrweg achten. (siehe unten Vohwinkel -> Gbf)


Den Anschluß Bayer/WSW findest du auf der rechten Seite des Gbf, es ist die nach unten abzweigende Strecke am Gleis 161. In diesen Anschluß kannst du nur mit Rangierfahrstraßen hineinfahren. Der Anschluß selbst ist nur mit "n. Bayer" bezeichnet, das WSW steht hier für die "Wuppertaler Stadtwerke", die an diesem Anschluß ein Kohlekraftwerk betreiben.
The connection Bayer / WSW can be found on the right side of Gbf, which is the branching tracks from track 161. You can only set a shunt route towards this connection. The connection itself is indicated with "n. Bayer" only. WSW stands for the "Wuppertal Stadtwerke", which operates a coal power plant.


Hierhin verkehrt 4x täglich ein Kohlezug von Duisburg-Hochfeld in eben diesen Anschluß Bayer/WSW. Dieser ist wie bereits genannt, ab dem Gbf über Gleis 161 als Rangierfahrt in den Anschluß zu fahren. Entsprechend der ankommenden Kohlezüge gibt es auch 4 Leerzüge, diese verkehren vom Anschluß Bayer/WSW '''geschoben''' bis zum Gleis 161, wenden dort und fahren als RabT ins Gleis 67. Von dort aus dann weiter als '''Zugfahrt''' über den Hauptbahnhof (Ferngleis) in Richtung Oberbarmen. Beachte hier besonders die Fahrwege.
Four times a day a coal train from Duisburg-Hochfeld has to go to Bayer / WSW. It has been mentionned before that you can only set shunt routes into this connection. Of course, the arriving coal trains will have to return empty. They will come out of the connection propelled. On track 161 they turn around, and go towards track 67 as a shunt movement. From there the train continuous as a train movement via Wuppertal Hbf (Fernbahn tracks) towards Wuppertal Oberbarmen. Pay attention to the routes to be set for those trains.


Im Gbf gibt es ein Paar Besonderheiten die Fahrstraßen betreffend.
In Gbf there are a couple of peculiarities with respect to the route setting.


{|  cellpadding="10" cellspacing="0" border="1"
{|  cellpadding="10" cellspacing="0" border="1"
|-
|-
| Hbf -> Gbf  
| Hbf ➜ Gbf  
| Will man direkt vom Hbf in den Gbf fahren, so endet die Zugfahrt immer an den hohen Lichtsperrsignalen (Ls) 48 oder 49. Von dort geht es nur noch als Rangierfahrt weiter.
| If you want to go directly from the main station into the Gbf, the train route always ends at the high-positioned shunt signals (Ls) 48 or 49. From there it goes further as a shunt movement.
|-
|-
| Hbf -> (Hp) -> Gbf  
| Hbf ➜ (Hp) ➜ Gbf  
| Es gibt auch die Möglichkeit am Bahnsteig des Haltepunktes (Gleis 45) vorbeizufahren. Dies sollte aber eher die Ausnahme sein. Dann kann man allerdings direkt als Zugfahrt in die Abstellgruppe fahren. (Die Zielsignale sind wieder hohe Ls)
| It is also possible to get into Gbf passing the platform  along track 45. However, this should be an exception. This way you can set a trainroute directly into the stabling tracks of the siding (The target signals are again high positioned Ls).
|-
|-
| Gbf -> Vohwinkel
| Gbf ➜ Vohwinkel
| Eine Ausfahrt aus der Abstellgruppe Richtung Vohwinkel ist '''nicht möglich'''.
| An exit train route from the stabling tracks into direction of Vohwinkel is'' 'not''' possible. A trains first needs to drive into track 161 as a shunt movement. From there it can exit as a train movement towards Vohwinkel.
Der Zug muss immer zuerst als Rangierfahrt nach Gleis 161 vorziehen und kann dann als Zugfahrt Richtung KWV ausfahren.
|-
|-
| Vohwinkel -> Gbf
| Vohwinkel ➜ Gbf
| Eine Einfahrt aus Vohwinkel endet immer am hohen Ls 161. Die Weiterfahrt in die Abstellgruppe ist als Rangierfahrt durchzuführen.
| An entry route from Vohwinkel always ends at high-positioned shunt signal Ls 161. The remaing part of the route into the siding takes places a shunt movement.
|-
|-
| Gbf -> Hbf
| Gbf ➜ Hbf
| Hier kann direkt von der Abstellgruppe aus Richtung Hbf ausgefahren werden.
| Here you can set a train route out of the siding towards the main station (Hbf). Either, via track 45 (along platform of Steinbeck), or better via tracks 48 or 49 located just ahead of the main station.
Zum einen direkt über den Haltepunkt (Steinbeck Gl. 45) am Bahnsteig vorbei, oder besser über Gleis 48 oder 49 bis vor den Hbf.
|}
|}


 
For exit routes starting at signal R65-R69 towards the main station Hbf you can use auxiliary buttons ZT R48 (towards signal R48) and ZT R49 (towards signal R49). You can also use the auxiliary buttons for setting shunt routes to the corresponding signals. Of course, the gray instead of the gray-red buttons should be used. From here, the routes are completely set up to the target signal. In the opposite direction, you can also use the auxiliary buttons ZT 48 and ZT 49 to set the entire train route from Wuppertal Hbf towards the shunt signals 48 and 49. The same also applies here for setting shunt routes.
Bei Ausfahrten von den Zwischensignalen R65-R69 in Richtung Hauptbahnhof kannst du dann die Fahrstraßenhilfstasten EXLT48 bis Signal R48 und EXLT49 bis Signal R49 nutzen. Auch kannst du die Fahrstraßenhilfstasten für die Rangierfahrstraßen zu den entsprechenden Signalen nutzen. Dabei sind natürlich dann die grauen, statt die grau-roten Tasten zu verwenden. Hier werden dann die Fahrstraßen komplett bis zu den Signalen einlaufen. In Gegenrichtung vom Hauptbahnhof bis zu den Sperrsignalen 48 und 49 kannst du unten ebenfalls für eine komplette Fahrstraße die Hilfstasten EXT48 und EXT49 nutzen. Auch hier läuft dann automatisch eine komplette Zugfahrstraße bis zu dem entsprechenden Signal ein. Das gleiche gilt auch hier für die Rangierfahrstraßen.

Der Haltepunkt Steinbeck ist ebenfalls ein Bahnhofsteil des Hauptbahnhofs und wird planmäßig nur von der S-Bahn genutzt. Auch ist er mit den zwei oberen Weichen der Anschluss an den Güterbahnhof Steinbeck, der direkt daneben liegt. In Bereich der roten Linie ist der Stelltisch geteilt, aber das ist dir sicher schon aufgefallen. Zur Vereinfachug wurde er hier zusammengesetzt dargestellt. Wenn du in diesem Bereich einmal ohne SB arbeiten solltest, so brauchst du die Fahrstraßen von Wuppertal Hbf (Signale S1, S3-S5) bzw. von Zoolog. Garten (Signal R64) nicht bis zum Signal zu stellen, sondern kannst hier die Hilfstasten EXT44 (=> nach Signal S44 bzw. Gleis 44), EXS45 (=> nach Signal S45 bzw. Gleis 45) oder EXLT45 (<= nach Signal R45 bzw. Gleis 45) nutzen. Die Fahrstraße wird dann trotzdem bis zu den genannten Signalen einlaufen. So brauchst du nicht so viel hin- und her zu scrollen.
The Steinbeck stop is also a part of our dispatching area. It is only serviced by the S-Bahn trains. By means of the two upper switches, we have a connection from here into to the freight yard which is located directly next to it. The red line on the image shows where panel is divided, but you certainly noticed that already. For simplicity, it was shown here assembled. If you are working on this area without auto fleeting enabled, you do not need to set routes from Wuppertal Hbf (signals S1, S3-S5) or Zoolog. Garden (signal R64) up to the target signal. You can use the auxiliary buttons EXT44 (=> towards signal S44 or track 44), EXS45 (=> towards signal S45 or track 45) or EXLT45 (<= towards Signal R45 or track 45) use. The routes will then be set upto the target signals. It is just to ease your life, and thus avoid needless scrolling/moving over the panel.


Am Hp Steinbeck ist auf der Fernbahn (rot) kein Verkehrshalt möglich, da dort keine Bahnsteige errichtet sind.
At Hp Steinbeck, train stops are not possible along the main line (red) since there are no platforms there.

Der Hp Zoologischer Garten ist eine S-Bahn-Station, ausgerüstet mit einem Mittelbahnsteig, die nur am Ortsgleis (grün) liegt. Hier halten die S-Bahn-Linien S8 und S9, welche beide im 20-Minuten-Takt verkehren. Hinter dem Hp Zoologischer Garten in Fahrtrichtung Hauptbahnhof zweigt nach rechts die eingleisige Nebenbahn zum Gbf Steinbeck ab (Strecke 2726), welche als Zufahrt zum Gbf dient. Eine Fahrstraße in den Gbf sollte entsprechend früh eingestellt werden, da ansonsten der SB die Fahrstraße standartmäßig über das Ortgleis anstößt. Alternativ kannst du dort auch den SB abschalten.
The Hp Zoologischer Garten is a S-Bahn station, equipped with only a central platform along the (green) S-Bahn line. The S-Bahn services S8 and S9, which both run at a 20 minute intervals, have their stops here. After this station, into the direction of Wuppertal Hbf, there is a single track branch line into Steinbeck Gbf (line 2726). A train route into Steinbeck Gbf should be set in time, otherwise the auto fleeting will set its standard route further down the S-Bahn line. Alternatively, you can also turn off the auto fleeting (SB) there. S-Bahn trains being diverted over the Fernbahn tracks will have to skip their stops here, as there are no platforms along these tracks.
Sollte einmal ein Zug über das Ferngleis am Hp Zoologischer Garten verkehren, so muss der Verkehrshalt dort entfallen, da es dort auf der Fernbahn keine Bahnsteige gibt. Daher noch eine kleine Nebeninformation, der Hp Zoologischer Garten ist bei einer Streckensperrung oder Umleitung mit der Schwebebahn erreichbar.

Hp Sonnborn is also an S-Bahn stop for the S8 and S9 services. It has only one island platform and is also the location in your dispatching area. From here the tracks continue into the direction of Vohwinkel. Like Hp Zoologischer Garten , Hp Sonnborn cannot be serviced via the Fernbahn tracks as there is no platform along those tracks.
Hp Sonnborn is also an S-Bahn stop for the S8 and S9 services. It has only one island platform and is also the last location in your dispatching area. From here the tracks continue into the direction of Vohwinkel. Like Hp Zoologischer Garten, Hp Sonnborn cannot be serviced via the Fernbahn tracks as there is no platform along those tracks.
 
Passengers with destination Sonnborn will have to use the Schwebebahn or bus in case S-bahn trains are being redirected over the Fernbahn tracks.

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 Wuppertal Hbf panel here.

Introduction

You are the dispatcher of Stellwerk Wuppertal Hbf, also known as "Ef". Wuppertal Hbf was once called "Dispatcher Elberfeld" and so it keeps its old abbreviation.

From signal box "Ef" we control two stations, namely Wuppertal Hbf itself and freight station Wuppertal-Steinbeck. Additionally, we are responsible for some lines which we'll discuss in a moment.

Any train running through the valley of Wupper will go through Wuppertal Hbf. The only exception for this is the S-Bahn S68, which ends its service in Wuppertal-Vohwinkel. In Wuppertal Steinbeck there used to be a branch line towards Wuppertal-Cronenberg. This was the so-called Cronenberger Samba but it was closed down and dismantled in 1988. We can't see anything of that line on the panel anymore.

Now let's have a look on the lines and other points of interest of our signal box:

Lines

Let's start with the red line at the bottom of the panel. This is the main line (Ferngleis) track and has line number 2550. This double track main line is the connection between Köln via Wuppertal towards Hagen. Normally only long distance and regional express trains use these tracks. On the open line there are only scheduled stops in Wuppertal-Barmen. This stop is part of the dispatching area of dispatcher "Of" Wuppertal-Oberbarmen (KWO).

Fernbahn tracks

Directly above the red line you see the green line, which is also shown in the upper part of the panel. This is the S-Bahn line. This is a double-track electrified line, which connects Wuppertal-Vohwinkel (the station the lines S8 and S9 continue into different directions) via Wuppertal Hbf with Oberbarmen (where lines S8 and RB47 continue into different directions). The S-Bahn line is used by the already mentioned services S8, S9 and RB47. The paths of each of these lines can be found in the table below.

S-Bahn tracks

Above the S-Bahn line we have the line 2726 as well as freight yard (Gbf) Steinbeck. The line 2726 is a very short single track electrified branch line connecting the Zoologischer Garten with Gbf Steinbeck. This branch line is used to getting into, or out of, the freight yard.

Strecke 2726 (Zoolog.Garten - Steinbeck Gbf)


Diverting Options

  • In case of disturbances on the S-Bahn into the direction of Oberbarmen, you can easily divert the trains over the (red) mainline (Fernbahn). However, doing so means that the S-Bahn services will have to skip their stops at Unterbarmen, as there are no platform along the Fernbahn line. The same applies for the opposite direction.
  • The same applies for disturbances on the S-Bahn towards Vohwinkel. In this case stops at Steinbeck, Zoologischer Garten and Sonnborn are not possible, as there are no platforms along the Fernbahn tracks at these stations.
  • When the Fernbahn tracks towards Oberbarmen can not be used, we can divert the trains via the S-Bahn tracks towards Oberbarmen, though this might mean that we hit the capacity limits of these tracks. Good dispatching is required here then.
  • In case of problems on Fernbahn tracks towards Vohwinkel, we could do the same as for into the direction of Oberbarmen. However, just must realise that you must redirect the trains onto the S-Bahn before they get into the station, as there are no switches after the station's platforms to do so.

Neighbouring Dispatching Areas

On the lower left you see the tracks 123/148 (S-Bahn) and the track 139/140 (Fernbahn). These 4 tracks are going to Oberbarmen. Between the main station (Hbf) and Oberbarmen, we have the halt Barmen (S-Bahn and Fernbahn) and Hp Unterbarmen (only S-Bahn). However, these two are already in the dispatching area of signal box "Of" (KWO).

On the lower right you will find the tracks 327/30 (mainline), where it goes further towards Vohwinkel (KWV). That is the next operated point is the station of Vohwinkel. The dispatcher there is located in signal box "Vpf".

You will find the tracks 341/42 on the upper right side of the panel. This is the connection of the S-Bahn to dispatching area of Vohwinkel, which is also the first station there.

Bi-directional running between Wuppertal Hbf and Vohwinkel as well as between Wuppertal Hbf and Oberbarmen is not possible.

Stations and Sidings

Bf Wuppertal Hbf (KW)

Bf Wuppertal Hbf

Wuppertal Hbf is the real heart of this panel. It has five platform tracks that lies along the two aforementioned lines. The tracks 1 and 2 are for the long-distance and regional trains. The trains of RE4 (104xx), RE7 (107XX) and RE13 (202XX) services halt here. In addition, these tracks are used for letting freight trains, running over the Fernbahn (mainline), pass throug. Track 3 is mainly used by the Regional trains of RB48 to turn around here and go back to Köln or Bonn-Mehlem. Otherwise, track 3 is also used for overhauls, in case that can not be done at Oberbarmen or Vohwinkel. The tracks 4 and 5 are for the S-Bahn trains and the RB47 trains. The S8 towards Vohwinkel has its scheduled stop on track 4, and track 5 for trains towards Oberbarmen. During weekdays (until evening), the S9 from Essen ends here and turns around on track 5. During the weekens and during the weekdays' evening hours, these service end and turn around on track 4. For the RB47 it is almost the opposite: During weekdays (until evening), these trains end here and turn around on track 4. During the weekens and during the weekdays' evening hours this service ends on track 5. From there they continue to track 23 to turn around there. Track 23 is not electrified, therefor you need to apply the FfrT for setting a route into that track. Alternatively you can let them turnaround in Steinbeck 48 or 49. However, you must then change the movement orders accordingly and notify the driver as such.

Track 79 was used to stable trains. It has been removed a long while ago. As adjustments for this change would have too much impact for the panel, it had been to decided to take the track out of order and lock it permanently on the panel.

The Wuppertal main station normally runs with auto fleeting enabled (SB), as there is not much variety in most train routes. For the few exceptions (eg, RB47 or RB48) you must not forget to set the train route before you get beaten by the auto fleeting system. You could disable the auto fleeting of the signals, if you do not feel comfortable with this during your first shifts. But remember that everything has to be done manually then. The auto fleeting of a signal can be disabled using the SBRT, but you certainly knew that already.

A little hint: If there are delays, things get pretty hectic in Wuppertal Hbf . But you should always try to stay calm ;-).

Bft W-Steinbeck Gbf (KWS G)

Bft W-Steinbeck Gbf

The freight station Steinbeck Gbf is part of the main station. The freight yard has had its best days nowadays. During the daytime there are only a handful of trains running there. For example, from Monday to Friday, a train from Köln-Kalk Gbf to W-Langerfeld has its scheduled stop here on the track 66. In case this track is closed for whatever reason you can also use any other track in the yard. Attention! Do set your routes into the freight yard in time (see table below: Vohwinkel ➜ Gbf)

The connection Bayer / WSW can be found on the right side of Gbf, which is the branching tracks from track 161. You can only set a shunt route towards this connection. The connection itself is indicated with "n. Bayer" only. WSW stands for the "Wuppertal Stadtwerke", which operates a coal power plant.

Four times a day a coal train from Duisburg-Hochfeld has to go to Bayer / WSW. It has been mentionned before that you can only set shunt routes into this connection. Of course, the arriving coal trains will have to return empty. They will come out of the connection propelled. On track 161 they turn around, and go towards track 67 as a shunt movement. From there the train continuous as a train movement via Wuppertal Hbf (Fernbahn tracks) towards Wuppertal Oberbarmen. Pay attention to the routes to be set for those trains.

In Gbf there are a couple of peculiarities with respect to the route setting.

Hbf ➜ Gbf If you want to go directly from the main station into the Gbf, the train route always ends at the high-positioned shunt signals (Ls) 48 or 49. From there it goes further as a shunt movement.
Hbf ➜ (Hp) ➜ Gbf It is also possible to get into Gbf passing the platform along track 45. However, this should be an exception. This way you can set a trainroute directly into the stabling tracks of the siding (The target signals are again high positioned Ls).
Gbf ➜ Vohwinkel An exit train route from the stabling tracks into direction of Vohwinkel is 'not' possible. A trains first needs to drive into track 161 as a shunt movement. From there it can exit as a train movement towards Vohwinkel.
Vohwinkel ➜ Gbf An entry route from Vohwinkel always ends at high-positioned shunt signal Ls 161. The remaing part of the route into the siding takes places a shunt movement.
Gbf ➜ Hbf Here you can set a train route out of the siding towards the main station (Hbf). Either, via track 45 (along platform of Steinbeck), or better via tracks 48 or 49 located just ahead of the main station.

For exit routes starting at signal R65-R69 towards the main station Hbf you can use auxiliary buttons ZT R48 (towards signal R48) and ZT R49 (towards signal R49). You can also use the auxiliary buttons for setting shunt routes to the corresponding signals. Of course, the gray instead of the gray-red buttons should be used. From here, the routes are completely set up to the target signal. In the opposite direction, you can also use the auxiliary buttons ZT 48 and ZT 49 to set the entire train route from Wuppertal Hbf towards the shunt signals 48 and 49. The same also applies here for setting shunt routes.

Bft W-Steinbeck Hp (KWS)

Bft W-Steinbeck Hp

The Steinbeck stop is also a part of our dispatching area. It is only serviced by the S-Bahn trains. By means of the two upper switches, we have a connection from here into to the freight yard which is located directly next to it. The red line on the image shows where panel is divided, but you certainly noticed that already. For simplicity, it was shown here assembled. If you are working on this area without auto fleeting enabled, you do not need to set routes from Wuppertal Hbf (signals S1, S3-S5) or Zoolog. Garden (signal R64) up to the target signal. You can use the auxiliary buttons EXT44 (=> towards signal S44 or track 44), EXS45 (=> towards signal S45 or track 45) or EXLT45 (<= towards Signal R45 or track 45) use. The routes will then be set upto the target signals. It is just to ease your life, and thus avoid needless scrolling/moving over the panel.

At Hp Steinbeck, train stops are not possible along the main line (red) since there are no platforms there.

Hp W-Zoologischer Garten (KWZ)

Hp W-Zoolog. Garten

The Hp Zoologischer Garten is a S-Bahn station, equipped with only a central platform along the (green) S-Bahn line. The S-Bahn services S8 and S9, which both run at a 20 minute intervals, have their stops here. After this station, into the direction of Wuppertal Hbf, there is a single track branch line into Steinbeck Gbf (line 2726). A train route into Steinbeck Gbf should be set in time, otherwise the auto fleeting will set its standard route further down the S-Bahn line. Alternatively, you can also turn off the auto fleeting (SB) there. S-Bahn trains being diverted over the Fernbahn tracks will have to skip their stops here, as there are no platforms along these tracks.

Hp W-Sonnborn (KWSO)

Hp W-Sonnborn

Hp Sonnborn is also an S-Bahn stop for the S8 and S9 services. It has only one island platform and is also the last location in your dispatching area. From here the tracks continue into the direction of Vohwinkel. Like Hp Zoologischer Garten, Hp Sonnborn cannot be serviced via the Fernbahn tracks as there is no platform along those tracks.

Passengers with destination Sonnborn will have to use the Schwebebahn or bus in case S-bahn trains are being redirected over the Fernbahn tracks.
