zubacka.sk - The cog railwayTisovec - Pohronská Polhora
started to operate in 1896. It was built mainly in order to make the
transport between the ironworks of Tisovec, Podbrezová and Hronec easier.
As the original equipment survived the finish of foundry production, it
could be pronounced to national cultural monument in 2008.
After successful acquisition of the roman steam cog engine M40, the cog
railway became the only possibility in Europe to enjoy the ride on cog steam
train with standard european gauge |

Elektrifizierte
Strecken der PHS und der DRG in Schlesien
Author: Thomas Scherrans
The successfull deploying of the electric trafic betwwen Dessau and Bitterfeld
in January 18th 1911 led to the decision to try electric
traction also on the railway with the difficult profile. Best fit the main
railway between Lauban and Königszelt. The railway in Slesien
mountains with the rising between 10 a 20 ‰ has the character of the
mountain railway. The freight import and the coal transport from
Waldenburg coal region promised enough cargo job. In July 30th 1911
the prussian land palament agreed with 9.9 bilon marks for the project of
the electrification including some secondary railways. |

90year of the electrification in
Slesien
Author: Martin Boháč
In the year 2001, it was 90 years from starting electrification works on
the Slesien railways under the Krkonose mountains. The railway network
broad from Zhorelec (Görlitz) to Vratislav (Wroclaw, Breslau). It eas
connected to Czech railways in the two points, Mezimesti and Korenov
(Polubny, Polaun). As it was the first attempt to use the electric power
on the primary railroads in the very close neibourghood, let us drop
several lines about this history, starting from the year 1911 until the
political changes in1945. (Czech, lot of photos, tables and graphs). |
