Transformer Replacement Possible in Gerolstein

Extensive renovation and repair work is currently being carried out at the Gerolstein Container Terminal (CTG) by Peter Hausmann & Co. Bauunternehmung GmbH. A transformer transfer station is being constructed on Track 21 at the CTG to facilitate the transport of transformers for the construction of the new Rommersheim substation by the grid operator Amprion.

Over a length of approximately 90 m, new track components—including S49 E1 rails, bolted grooved rails, and B70 concrete ties—will be installed. In the area of the transformer substation, the track will be backfilled with concrete, tamped until it reaches a stable position, aligned, and compacted (“Dresden-style track superstructure”). This will allow road vehicles to travel on this section in the future.

To install transformers, a transformer transfer foundation is built into the track. This is necessary to support the localized load of the transformer during the transfer process.

In addition, the sets of ties for turnouts Nos. 16, 18, and 22 on the approach track will be replaced.

TransFER Wolfurt–Rotterdam to Include a Stop in Switzerland

Rail freight transport from Rotterdam (APMT II, ECT Delta, Wuppermann) to Wolfurt [AT]; 3 times a week since January 2018, with operational responsibility extending to Kufstein [DE] on behalf of Rail Cargo Operator – Austria GmbH; since October 16, 2018, also including a branch line to Moerdijk (Wuppermann)

Since May 8, on Fridays from Rotterdam

Railway Service Provider, LLC (EDG)

With a new route for our direct connection between Wolfurt and Rotterdam, we are now also connecting Frenkendorf in Switzerland to our intermodal network, thereby expanding our multimodal logistics services.

Wolfurt is not only of great importance to Vorarlberg’s strongly export-oriented economy. Austria’s westernmost terminal is a hub for the entire Lake Constance region—and, even more so, for all of Europe. The Wolfurt freight center, the starting point for high-frequency TransFER connections, provides direct transport links to the northern ports of Hamburg and Bremerhaven, as well as to the Dutch port of Rotterdam, one of Europe’s most important transportation hubs.

Effective immediately, we are now offering an additional stop in Frenkendorf, Switzerland, as part of our TransFER Wolfurt–Rotterdam service. Two round trips will operate as usual from Wolfurt via Kufstein to Rotterdam and back. We will also operate an additional round trip from Rotterdam via Frenkendorf to Wolfurt. Loading and unloading facilities are available in Frenkendorf. This allows us to transport cargo from Frenkendorf to Wolfurt, where we connect to our extensive freight transport network. This creates connections to the Adriatic ports of Koper and Trieste, as well as a direct link to intercontinental cargo flows to the bimodal Bilk Terminal, Hungary’s largest terminal in Budapest. The goal is to expand the TransFER Wolfurt–Rotterdam service to four routes with two stops in Frenkendorf.

RRF nicht mehr in Belgien

As some of you probably already know, since August last year Rotterdam Rail Feeding B.V. (RRF) was involved in the renewal process of its Belgium License (part B) which we had since 2010. We issued towards DVIS our revised safety management system, on which we drive for many years with great success and high safety levels in The Netherlands and Germany. Unfortunately, DVIS in the last 8 months kept on coming back to us with all kind of national administrative system issues for which we had to comply. Despite intense contact and several revised versions being send over, DVIS decided otherwise and only issued under conditions a temporarily license. To avoid that we have to spend further unnecessary valuable time and energy in this frustrating administrative process, RRF decided itself to stop completely with the license renewal process. For the record, as most of you know we already since 2019 did not have any actual operation on the Belgium rail network (besides some spot transports) so also this contributed to our decision to stop with this time consuming administrative process.

As a result, effectively today ends our Belgium presence (May 15 ,expiration date of our current license).

To be fully clear this decision has nothing to do with the current challenging conditions due to COVID-19. RRF is still a successful and ambitious company with solid financial performance. Together with our strong shareholder Genesee & Wyoming we continue expanding our current footprint in The Netherlands and Germany and jointly we will pursue any other interesting opportunity else in Europe.

Needless to say, although RRF will not be active Belgium license holder anymore we still support the BRFF`s goals and ambitions so please keep up all the good work!
