Motive Power Depot
A motive power depot (MPD) or locomotive depot, or traction maintenance depot (TMD), is where locomotives are usually housed, repaired and maintained. They were originally known as "running sheds", "engine sheds" or just "sheds". Facilities are provided for refuelling and the replenishing of water, lubricating oil and grease and, for steam engines, the disposal of ash. There are often workshops for day-to-day repairs and maintenance, but locomotive building and major overhauls are usually carried out at locomotive works. (Note: In American English, the term ''depot'' is used to refer to passenger stations or goods (freight) facilities, not to vehicle maintenance facilities.) German practice The equivalent of such depots in German-speaking countries is the '' Bahnbetriebswerk'' or ''Bw'', which has similar functions, with major repairs and overhauls being carried out at '' Ausbesserungswerke''. The number of those was reduced drastically following the changeover from s ... [...More Info...] [...Related Items...] OR: [Wikipedia] [Google] [Baidu] |

Trams In Copenhagen
A tram (also known as a streetcar or trolley in Canada and the United States) is an urban rail transit in which vehicles, whether individual railcars or multiple-unit trains, run on tramway tracks on urban public streets; some include segments on segregated right-of-way. The tramlines or tram networks operated as public transport are called tramways or simply trams/streetcars. Because of their close similarities, trams are commonly included in the wider term ''light rail'', which also includes systems separated from other traffic. Tram vehicles are usually lighter and shorter than main line and rapid transit trains. Most trams use electrical power, usually fed by a pantograph sliding on an overhead line; older systems may use a trolley pole or a bow collector. In some cases, a contact shoe on a third rail is used. If necessary, they may have dual power systems—electricity in city streets and diesel in more rural environments. Occasionally, trams also carry freight. Some tra ... [...More Info...] [...Related Items...] OR: [Wikipedia] [Google] [Baidu] |
