Reconstruction of locomotive shed: Extension of track 10 (September 2021)

The plans envisage extending track 10 about 13 metres beyond the rear wall of the locomotive shed. A corresponding gate is to be provided later in the rear wall of the locomotive shed. In the area accessed by the track, a lathe and an embossing polishing machine for wheelsets are currently installed. This makes it possible to roll and process axles removed via the axle sink in tracks 1 and 2 directly in front of these machines via the turntable. In preparation for laying the track, this area was excavated so that a substructure of mineral concrete could later be laid on which the track would be built. Beforehand, a cable duct was installed as a crossing under track 10 in order to be able to lay further lines (water, sewage, electricity, telecommunications) behind the locomotive shed in the future without having to remove the track again.
