The boundary of operation between the dispatcher Eastside and Westside is at tracks 661/662. Setting a route from Wuppertal-Oberbarmen towards Wuppertal-Langerfeld is possible. However, the other dispatcher (Eastside) must accept the route. In case of train routes from Wuppertal-Langerfeld Gbf towards Wuppertal-Oberbarmen, the exit signals on tracks 501-504 as well as 560-562 will only go to Proceed, when the other dispatcher (Westside) has set a route from track 661/662 towards track 253/254. The routes will always be set individually (partial routes). | |||

The container terminal of Langerfeld is located on tracks 501-504. Only the first 50 meters of track are electrified at both sides. Normally, a container train reaches the freight station on the track 560, where the electric locomotive will be uncoupled. This then moves to Langerfeld Abstellung (515-528), and (pay attention to the movement orders) waits for its next service. The arrived container cars will be moved on to the tracks of the container terminal by a diesel locomotive. That diesel locomotive is normally stabled at Langerfeld Abstellung. | |||
As tracks 501-504 are not equipped with catenary because of the portal cranes overthere, you must set shunt route into those track using the FfrT. Train routes into tracks 501-504 from a main entrance signal can not be set! This is a safety precaution because of the possible hazards with respect to the portal cranes overthere. | |||

Page is under construction. Information is subject to change.
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-Oberbarmen panel here.
Im Streckenzentralstellwerk Wuppertal-Oberbarmen gibt es 4 Stellbereiche: W-Unterbarmen, W-Oberbarmen, W-Langerfeld, Schwelm. Die Gruppentasten sind jetzt einem bestimmten Stellbereich zugewiesen. Dies bedeutet, dass nicht alle Gruppentasten auf dem Stelltisch mit ALLEN Stellbereiche funktionieren. Falls du die falsche Gruppentaste verwendest, passiert einfach "nichts' und die kleine Ringe rundum den Tasten bleiben rosa.
Die Weichenlaufketten sind aufgeteilt in den vier Stellbereiche. Dies bedeutet, dass wenn du einen Ersatzsignal bedienen musst, NUR die Weichenlaufkette ausschalten musst von dem jeweiligen Stellbereich. Die Weichenumlaufmelder (WL) blinken nur im Stellbereich.
Wichtig: das das Nummernstellpult und das Gruppentastenfenster ist "unabhaengig" der Stellbereiche. Hier kannst du also immer alles bedienen.
Jedoch:
- wenn mehr als eine Weichenlaufkette ausgeschaltet ist, leuchtet der Leuchtmelder LK im Nummernstellpult oder Gruppentastenfenster
- wenn mehr als eine Weiche in der Simulation umläuft, blinkt der WL-Leuchtmelder im Nummernstellpult oder Gruppentastenfenster
Wuppertal-Oberbarmen
tracks 002 and 003 are the platform tracks for long distance traffic. Platform track 001 is rarely used, just when a delayed train has to be taken over at Wuppertal-Oberbarmen track 004 can be used for both long distance traffic as well as for S-bahn traffic where needded tracks 005 and 006 are platform tracks for S-Bahn trains . add series here. Some S-Bahn trains end their service in KWO, and will go to Langerfeld for stabling or turn around their for the next service tracks 010 and 011 do not have Overhead wires
In Wuppertal-Oberbarmen (KWO) läuft der Betrieb im Regelfall im Selbststellbetrieb (SB), weil es nicht so viele verschiedene Fahrwege gibt die regelmäßig genutzt werden. Für die wenigen Ausnahmen dürfen wir allerdings nicht vergessen rechtzeitig die richtige Fahrstraße einzustellen, bevor der SB zuschlägt. Falls du unsicher bist nimm ruhig zu Dienstbeginn den SB an den Signalen raus, dann musst du natürlich alles mit der Hand einstellen. Das man den SB mit der SBRT ausschaltet weißt du ja sicher.
Im Bahnhof Wuppertal-Oberbarmen gibt es 6 Bahnsteiggleise.
Die Gleise 002 und 003 sind für den Fern- und Regionalverkehr (RE) vorgesehen. Gleis 001 wird nur sehr selten benutzt, wenn z.B. ein verspäteter Zug in Wuppertal-Oberbarmen überholen muss. Die Züge von RB4 (104XX), RB7 (107XX) und RE13 (202XX) halten in Wuppertal-Oberbarmen.
Gleis 004 kann für den Fern- und Regionalverkehr (RE) wie auch für den S-Bahn-Verkehr genutzt werden, je nach Bedarf und Fahrplanlage.
Die S-Bahn (S8 = 308XX und 309XX) und RB47 (307XX) Züge von Wuppertal Hbf, halten normalerweise in Gleis 6 (006). Gleiches Spiel in die andere Richtung: Planhalt ist Gleis 5 (005). Einige S-Bahnen enden hier und fahren als Leerfahrt in den Betriebsbahnhof Langerfeld um dort auf den nächsten Zug in Ihrer Lage zu wechseln. Achtet auf die Rangieraufträge.
Die Gleise 010 und 011 sind nicht elektrifiziert und haben daher keine Oberleitung!
Lines
Red Line = Fernverkehr / Long Distance traffic
Line 2550 : (Wuppertal Hbf) - Wuppertal-Barmen - Wuppertal-Oberbarmen - Schwelm - Ennepetal Hp - (Hagen Hbf)
Wuppertal-Barmen
The tracks 1 (138) and 2 (135) are used for long-distance and regional trains (RE). In Barmen only the RE4 (104xx) and RE13 (202XX) services stop here.
Schwelm
In Schwelm the tracks 3 (403) and 2 (4 (404) are used for long-distance and regional trains (RE). In Schwelm only the RE4 (104xx), RE7 (107XX) and RE13 (202XX) services stop here.
Ennepetal Hp
There is only long-distance and regional traffic in Ennepetal. Trains out of direction of Hagen Hbf stop at track 2 (912). The trains towards Hagen Hbf stop at track 1. Only the RE4 (104xx), RE7 (107XX) and RE13 (202XX) services have their stops here.
Green Line = S-Bahn
Line 2525 / 2423 : (Wuppertal Hbf) - Wuppertal-Oberbarmen - W-Langerfeld Hp - Schwelm West - Schwelm - Gevelsberg - (Hagen Hbf)
The service S8 operates on this line (Mönchengladbach - Wuppertal - Hagen. The regional train RB47, operating between Wuppertal Hbf and Remscheid Hbf / Solingen Hbf, also uses the tracks of the S-Bahn line between Wuppertal Hbf and Wuppertal-Oberbarmen.
Wuppertal-Unterbarmen
Only the S8 and RB47 stop at Wuppertal-Unterbarmen. The trains from Wuppertal Hbf stop at track 4 (304), the trains towards Wuppertal Hbf stop at track 3 (303). There are no platforms along the long-distance tracks as well as track 5.
Sometimes we need to take a train into track 5 (305). Track 313 is a non-isolated tracks which runs along the S-Bahn tracks all the way towards a yard at Wuppertal-Barmen. This yard is out of order however.
Wuppertal-Barmen
In Wuppertal-Barmen tracks 3 (148) and 4 (145) are dedicated for the S-Bahn trains (S8) and RB 47 service. Trains from Wuppertal Hbf stop at track 4, the trains towards Wuppertal Hbf stop at track 3.
Wuppertal-Langerfeld
Schwelm West
Schwelm
Abzweig Linderhausen
Gevelsberg West
Gevelsberg-Kipp
Gevelsberg Hbf
Gevelsberg-Knapp
Hagen-Westerbauer
Yellow line
Linie 2700 : Branch line between Wuppertal-Oberbarmen and Remscheid Hbf - Solingen. This line does not have overhead line equipment. Therefor we need to apply the FfGT button to set routes starting at Wuppertal-Oberbarmen towards this line!
Wuppertal-Rauenthal
Wuppertal-Rauenthal does not have platforms and no timetabled stops are forseen there. This location used to be a junction where the traffic towards Wuppertal-Oberbarmen (via the Rauenthaler Tunnel) was split from the traffic towards Wuppertal-Langerfeld Gbf (via the Langerfelder Tunnel). The Langerfeld Tunnel has been closed years and years ago and is not even shown on the panel.
Traffic out of the direction of Remscheid has the ability to change direction at track 703 Von Remscheid kommend besteht auf Gleis 703 eine Wendemöglichkeit, for multiple units. Track 702/752 (and therefor also track 772 upto entrance signal of W-Oberbarmen) are closed due to superstructure defects. This means that all trains to and from Remscheid have to go via track 701.
Tracks 771 and 772 (closed) are located in the so-called "Rauenthaler Tunnel".
Via track 756 we can go towards Wuppertal-Beyenburg , and in the earlier days even further towards Radevormwald. This tracks has not seen any traffic in the past years and tracks have been partly removed.
Wuppertal-Ronsdorf
This is a station along the line towards Solingen Hbf via Remscheid. It is not part of our dispatching area.
Blue = Freight line
Line 2701: Wuppertal-Oberbarmen - Langerfeld Gbf - Abzw Linderhausen
The boundary of operation between the dispatcher Eastside and Westside is at tracks 661/662. Setting a route from Wuppertal-Oberbarmen towards Wuppertal-Langerfeld is possible. However, the other dispatcher (Eastside) must accept the route. In case of train routes from Wuppertal-Langerfeld Gbf towards Wuppertal-Oberbarmen, the exit signals on tracks 501-504 as well as 560-562 will only go to Proceed, when the other dispatcher (Westside) has set a route from track 661/662 towards track 253/254. The routes will always be set individually (partial routes).
Langerfeld Gbf
The container terminal of Langerfeld is located on tracks 501-504. Only the first 50 meters of track are electrified at both sides. Normally, a container train reaches the freight station on the track 560, where the electric locomotive will be uncoupled. This then moves to Langerfeld Abstellung (515-528), and (pay attention to the movement orders) waits for its next service. The arrived container cars will be moved on to the tracks of the container terminal by a diesel locomotive. That diesel locomotive is normally stabled at Langerfeld Abstellung.
As tracks 501-504 are not equipped with catenary because of the portal cranes overthere, you must set shunt route into those track using the FfrT. Train routes into tracks 501-504 from a main entrance signal can not be set! This is a safety precaution because of the possible hazards with respect to the portal cranes overthere.
Langerfeld Abstellung
The tracks 515-528 are used to temporarily stable trains or letting them turn around. Many trains are stabled here also during the night. In addition, there are always two locomotives for the various shunt maneuvers at the container terminal. The incoming electric locomotive coming of an incoming container train is stabled here temporarily.
Langerfeld Laderampe
Track 563 on the right side of Langerfeld is the connection to the non-electrified loading dock tracks of Langerfeld. There are only a handful of train movements throughout the day.
Peculiarities in Wuppertal-Oberbarmen
Station buttons
The Station buttons on the panel look different then the ones you might have seen on other Stelltisch (panels) For each area on the panel there is a dedicated station button next to the group buttons.
Mittelweichen
Dies sind Weichen, die bei einem Ausfahr- oder Zwischensignal mit in der Fahrstraße aufgenommen werden. Sie liegen unmittelbar VOR den Hauptsignale. Die Weichenstellungsmelder der Mittelweichen leuchten immer auf.
In Wuppertal-Oberbarmen ist die Weiche 44 in den Gleis 4 als Mittelweiche projiziert.
Wenn Sie eine Fahrstraße einstellen, wobei die Mittelweichen in der Grundstellung bleiben, brauchen Sie keine besondere Bedienhandlungen zu machen.
Stellen Sie eine Fahrstraße ein, wobei eine Mittelweiche nicht in der Grundstellung liegt, müssen Sie, bevor Sie die Zugstraße einstellen die MGT-Taste bedienen. Die Mittelweichen werden dann in der abweichende Lage festgelegt, bevor das Hauptsignal in Fahrtstellung kommen kann.
Bei dieser Fahrstraße ist die MGT-Bedienung nicht notwendig:
Bei dieser Fahrstraße muss erst die MGT bedient werden, bevor die Zugstraßentasten bedient werden.
Boundary of operating area
Dispatcher Westside operates the panel between Wuppertal Hbf (tracks 123,124,133,134) upto Wuppertal-Oberbarmen, including the yellow branch line. Dispatcher Eastside operates the panel between Wuppertal-Oberbarmen all to the right side of the panel. A special point on the panel is where the Freight tracks 661 and 662 connect to the station tracks.
Routes from W-Oberbarmen towards W-Langerfeld
When dispatcher Westside needs to send a train to Langerfeld Gbf (freight yard), he sets his route upto track 661 or 662. On number entry panel, this would be i.e. 006-661 The rest of the route setting into the freight yard is done by the dispatcher Westside. For example: he sets the route from 651 towards 516.
When setting such routes the signal will not be set to Proceed until the dispatcher Eastside has given his permission. Giving permission is done by operating the ZGT button together with the end signal button (here 561 or 562). Only then the route will be completely set and the start signal will be change to Proceed.
Routes from W-Langerfeld towards W-Oberbarmen
If the dispatcher "Eastside" needs to send a train out of the direction of Langerfeld Gbf, he will set his route upto track 661 or 662. In the image below this is shown as yellow lines. The signal towards track 661 or 662 will not clear then, as the route setting has to be completed by the dispatcher Westside. The last will set the route from 661/662 into the station. For example: 661 to 005. Only then, and if all safety checks have been passed, the signal for this part of the route will show Proceed.
