Dispatching in Remagen

Page is under construction. Information is subject to change.

Coming soon

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 Remagen panel here.

Remagen

The station of Remagen has 5 platform tracks. The trains from the south (Brohl) normally stop at track 001. Trains from the North (Bonn) normally have their stops at track 003. The tracks 004 and 005 are used for the trains to and from the Arthalbahn. The Arthalbahn starts at Remagen, and connects into the direction of Bad-Neuenahr via track 955 and 956. It is a non-electrified line, so you need to use the FfrT group button for setting routes towards track 955.
