about this webpage
Due to geneological circumstances a career as a railway-enthusiast was already preditable
in my early years.
Work on this webpage started in 1998 as one of my first projects on the internet. Supported by an huge amount
of people its contents grew and a constant level of visitors was reached. Thanks for all the contributions!
Unfortunately due to lacking time additional information is added quite seldom, but I try to keep most
articles up-to-date at least.
In my postgraduate employment at the Institute of Transport Science (VIA) I'm dealing with railway's operations research,
mainly researching on questions of timetable robustness.
During my studies of civil engineering I enjoyed several work experiences
at the Swiss consultants SMA und Partner AG, the infrastructure
division of BLS Lötschbergbahn AG and finally DB Fernverkehr AG.

"Trainspotting Jeff by Thorsten Büker features German border
stations and a map of voltage current of electric railway
lines in Europe. The picture above is from the German
border station Flensburg, from which the DMU of the Deutsche
Bahn AG will leave for Padborg in Denmark in a few
minutes. Notice the flags in the background: The German,
the Danish and the one of Schleswig-Holstein - it is truly
an international station. The border station of Padborg
is electrified with both German 15 kV-16 2/3 Hz and Danish
25 KV-50 Hz. In a few years both the danish state railways
and the DB-AG will receive new dual-voltage locomotives
to be used cross-border: The danish class EG and the german
class 185. Until then older electric locomotives comes
rolling into the station with their pantographs lowered,
then hauled away by diesel shunters!"
