THE BUILDING AND OPERATION OF HARBOUR STATIONS
BAU UND BETRIEB VON SEEBAHNOFEN
The building of harbour stations is influenced by the distribution of traffic, which often varies, between the different forms of feeder transport, the specialisations of the port, and the volume and description of the traffic involved. Their general lay-out must often be established before all the details are fully known, and sometimes, even, arrangements which have definitely been decided upon are proved to be wrong because of subsequent alterations affecting the customers and services using the port. The necessity is, therefore, shown of flexible planning, which is capable of adaptation. Basing on the example of Bremen Station, the author shows its general form, and the special features, which differentiate it from conventional railway stations. The normal features are shown - sets of reception and departure sidings, sets of sorting sidings, and junction and loop lines - but, in addition, specialised auxiliary stations, sets of sidings for the regrouping of wagons which are loaded or unloaded in the port, and transhipment, loading and unloading yards, used by road services. The author describes the characteristics of this lay-out, as well as some of the special features of the equipment: the humps, signals, lighting, telecommunication, electric power supply, and specialised installations.
