Island Platform
An island platform (also center platform, centre platform) is a station layout arrangement where a single platform is positioned between two tracks within a railway station, tram stop or transitway interchange. Island platforms are popular on twin-track routes due to pragmatic and cost reasons. They are also useful within larger stations where local and express services for the same direction of travel can be provided from opposite sides of the same platform thereby simplifying transfers between the two tracks. An alternative arrangement is to position side platforms on either side of the tracks. The historical use of island platforms depends greatly upon the location. In the United Kingdom the use of island platforms is relatively common when the railway line is in a cutting or raised on an embankment, as this makes it easier to provide access to the platform without walking across the tracks. Advantages and tradeoffs Island platforms are necessary for any station with m ... [...More Info...] [...Related Items...] OR: [Wikipedia] [Google] [Baidu] |

Railway Station
Rail transport (also known as train transport) is a means of transport that transfers passengers and goods on wheeled vehicles running on rails, which are incorporated in Track (rail transport), tracks. In contrast to road transport, where the vehicles run on a prepared flat surface, rail vehicles (rolling stock) are directionally guided by the tracks on which they run. Tracks usually consist of steel rails, installed on Railroad tie, sleepers (ties) set in track ballast, ballast, on which the rolling stock, usually fitted with metal wheels, moves. Other variations are also possible, such as "slab track", in which the rails are fastened to a concrete foundation resting on a prepared subsurface. Rolling stock in a rail transport system generally encounters lower friction, frictional resistance than rubber-tyred road vehicles, so passenger and freight cars (carriages and wagons) can be coupled into longer trains. The rail transport operations, operation is carried out by a ... [...More Info...] [...Related Items...] OR: [Wikipedia] [Google] [Baidu] |
Side Platform
A side platform (also known as a marginal platform or a single-face platform) is a railway platform, platform positioned to the side of one or more railway tracks or guideways at a railway station, tram stop, or bus rapid transit, transitway. A station having dual side platforms, one for each direction of travel, is the basic design used for double-track railway lines (as opposed to, for instance, the island platform where a single platform lies between the tracks). Side platforms may result in a wider overall footprint for the station compared with an island platform where a single width of platform can be shared by riders using either track. In some stations, the two side platforms are connected by a footbridge running above and over the tracks. While a pair of side platforms is often provided on a dual-track line, a single side platform is usually sufficient for a single-track line. Layout Where the station is close to a level crossing (grade crossing) the platforms may ei ... [...More Info...] [...Related Items...] OR: [Wikipedia] [Google] [Baidu] |
Simbach Am Inn–Pocking Railway
The Simbach am Inn–Pocking railway was a single-tracked branch line between Simbach am Inn and Pocking in the province of Lower Bavaria in southern Germany. Preparations Early planning On 9 April 1894 the market town of Rotthalmünster and the communities to Simbach asked the head office of the Royal Bavarian State Railways for a branch line (''Lokalbahn'') to be built from Simbach am Inn to Rotthalmünster. Because that came to nothing, they pressed instead for a railway from Vilshofen to Simbach. This proposal was presented by a delegation in Munich. Although this generated little enthusiasm with the head office, they did show a degree of interest in the original desire for a railway from Simbach to Rotthalmünster. So, on 3 December 1896 a new application for this line was submitted. On 30 January 1897 the Ministry for the Royal Household and Foreign Affairs announced their approval for the scoping of a ''Lokalbahn'' from Simbach am Inn to Rotthalmünster. In 1897 t ...

Simbach Am Inn
Simbach am Inn ( en, Simbach on the Inn) is a town on the river Inn in the Rottal-Inn district of Bavaria, Germany. The Austrian city Braunau am Inn lies on the opposite side of the river from Simbach. History Simbach was one of the first places where electricity was used. For example, Simbach had electrical power three years before Munich. One of the reasons for Simbach's growth is that it lies on the railroad route Munich - Vienna. Timeline * 927 - Simbach first appears in historical records as "Sunninpah." * 1743 - Simbach is nearly destroyed during the War of the Austrian Succession. * 1833 - Simbach becomes an independent municipality. * 1951 - Simbach is raised to city status, making it the youngest city in the Rottal-Inn district. * 1972 - The municipalities Kirchberg, Eggstetten and Erlach are added to Simbach.

Innviertel Railway
The Innviertel (literally German for "Inn Quarter"; officially called the ''Innkreis''; ) is a traditional Austrian region southeast of the Inn river. It forms the western part of the state of Upper Austria and borders the German state of Bavaria. The Innviertel is one of the four traditional "quarters" of Upper Austria, the others being Hausruckviertel, Mühlviertel, and Traunviertel. The Innviertel is the northwestern quarter of Upper Austria and includes the districts Braunau am Inn, Ried im Innkreis and Schärding. Since the formation of the political districts in 1868, the quarters in Upper Austria no longer have a legal basis and are purely regional names. The older Habsburg districts (''Kreise''), which were still based on the old quarters, were superseded. Unlike the rest of Upper Austria, most of the area was part of Duchy and, later, Electorate of Bavaria until the 1779 Treaty of Teschen. It is a fertile, densely populated, flat to hilly landscape that is part ... [...More Info...] [...Related Items...] OR: [Wikipedia] [Google] [Baidu] |
Mühldorf–Simbach Am Inn Railway
The Mühldorf–Simbach am Inn railway is a 39 km long, single-tracked, unelectrified main line in Bavaria in southern Germany. Leaving Mühldorf station it runs in an east-west direction to the German-Austrian state border, where it joins the Innviertel Railway. Until 1969 there was also a junction here with the railway to Pocking.
