What options does the TF have to reach the FDL? Button 2 GSMR About the BZ button PGSM + long code mobile call Via a speaker column along the route And go personally to the FDL house and speak Is this all technically correct or have I forgotten something or done something wrong?
So, if I understand correctly, train drivers are required by the locomotive driver's license regulations to complete a day of RFU once a year, followed by a written exam. Who exactly does this legal obligation apply to? Does it apply to everyone who works in active operations? That is, to drivers, forwarders, train drivers/truck drivers,…
Hey 🙂 Can someone here explain to me which train logbook (the one for single-track or double-track lines or both) I have to use and how if I have station A-Dorf on the left, then a single-track line, then my station and then a double-track line to B-Heim? I'm not quite sure how or where…
If you're training to be a Fdl, is there no idea where the theory takes place at the vocational school or training center, including English classes?? It's pointless if it exists, because I haven't heard of it being the case for career changers.
I'm a tram driver and I repeatedly see drivers and cyclists simply turn around without looking, or stop on the railway tracks for a few minutes just to pop into the shop. In those cases, I ring my bell loudly to draw attention to myself and, of course, inform the control center that I won't…
I applied for a job as a train dispatcher at Deutsche Bahn and unfortunately failed the aptitude test. I have a second chance. Does anyone have any tips on how I could improve the task? I failed the task where I have to stare at the screen for 30 minutes and press the green button…
I have a somewhat strange question. Is a foreman in railway operations ranked higher than a railway worker in operational service? Before you think I'm stupid… I realize that the qualification is higher; a "master" title is equivalent to a bachelor's degree and therefore an academic degree, while the railway worker in operational service is…
Hey everyone, Has anyone here by any chance taken the psychological examination for train traffic controller/dispatcher at IAS and can tell me how the test went and what kind of tasks were involved? Thanks in advance!
I suspect the signal displays a signal when it's in the path of travel but isn't directly the start or destination signal. But I'm not sure.
Hi So, if a train is traveling on a double-track line without permanent track-switching, there's usually no entry signal on the opposite track. How does the train then enter the depot? With a command? Or does it use the signal from the main track? And does this have anything to do with the Ne 1?…
Hello, I read that DB's traffic controllers also conduct route surveys, so I'm wondering what exactly that entails? Do they just ride on the front of a locomotive, or what exactly happens?
I saw a white end panel in a signal book that somehow indicates that a special train is following. I don't really understand it. Can anyone tell me more about this?
