DEVELOPMENT AND MANUFACTURING OF MACHINES AND EQUIPMENT IN THE GERMAN FEDERAL RAILWAY

ENTWICKLUNG UND BAU VON FERTIGUNGSMITTELN BEI DER DEUTSCHEN BUNDESBAHN

For the maintenance of railway rolling stock, special machines, measuring apparatus and other appliances are required. These are mostly not available commercially and owing to the small numbers used they are generally produced by the railways themselves. The DB, for example, has set up a special department for this purpose in the Opladen repair workshops. A few of the more important machines and equipment made there are described.
