Heavy Freight at Oberhausen Duisburg - Rail Traffic 2023

Heavy freight trains play a crucial role in the transportation of goods and commodities around the world. These trains are typically made up of multiple locomotives and a long string of freight cars, and are designed to haul large quantities of heavy cargo over long distances.

The engines used to pull these trains are among the most powerful and advanced locomotives in the world, capable of producing thousands of horsepower and generating immense amounts of traction force. The freight cars themselves are also specially designed to handle heavy loads, with reinforced frames and axles and high-capacity brakes.

Despite their size and weight, heavy freight trains are remarkably efficient and cost-effective, consuming far less fuel per ton-mile than other modes of transportation like trucks or planes. As a result, they remain a critical component of the global logistics chain, supporting industries ranging from agriculture and mining to manufacturing and construction.

Fängt gleich gut an: der Leerpark vom 4000 to Erzzug am Anfang, ist ein Leerpark von einem (bis zu) 5400 to Erzzug. Die sogenannte V 300 ist nie als "V 300" bei der DR in Betrieb gewesen (viel zu jung), sondern gleich als Baureihe 130; einzige echte V 300 war eine DB-Lok. Insgesamt wäre ich vorsichtiger mit der Verwendung von "Spitznamen" und den veralteten Bauartbezeichnungen "V xxx", dabei lauern einfach zu viele Fallstricke für den Amateur.
