  • Prototype information

    On August 11, 1866, the "Quaibahn" / "Dock Railroad" from the former Berlin Station in Hamburg to the "Sandtorquai" / "Sand Gate Dock" was opened. This was not only the birth of today's modern harbor, in that for the first time freight could be offloaded directly from the ship into warehouses and onto the railroad, it was also the nucleus of the currently largest railroad harbor in Europe. Currently, more than a third of the containers in the Hamburg harbor are transported by rail – more than in any other European harbor. To do this, the harbor railroad, a business area of the Hamburg Port Authority (HPA), maintains a rail network that is used by about 130 national and international active railroad companies (EVU). They link the harbor with the significant major cities and urban areas in Germany, Central, and Southeast Europe. Around 12 percent of Germany's freight traffic by rail begins or ends on the tracks of the Hamburg harbor railroad. For smooth operation of this modern system, planners, dispatchers, and turnout maintenance people at six signal towers look after about 300 kilometers / 188 miles of track and about 800 turnouts. About 150 kilometers / 94 miles of the track network are electrified. About 200 freight trains with approximately 5,000 cars are running in the Hamburg harbor on a workday. The dynamic, unconventional theme of the anniversary train is intended to take up the team spirit of the past 150 years and convey the message that the Hamburg harbor railroad forms an efficient, reliable, sustainable connection to the interior. Congratulations to its new vigorous motive power Your Hamburg Port Authority
