Each of us used at least once in his lifepublic transport, namely: by train, train, tram or trolley. But few people think that this technique also has its own house. Depot is a special structure in which the car, locomotive or trolley bus is defended, serviced and repaired. Let's take a closer look at each of them.
Trolleybus service
Not only in metropolitan areas there is a trolleybus, but also inregional centers. Why is it attributed more to the rolling stock, despite the fact that he drives rubber tires on the asphalt? Because it receives power to the motor through the contact network. A trolleybus is an electric transport.
Троллейбусное депо (оно же и парк) может иметь about a hundred or more transport units. As a rule, there is a number on the body and in the cabin. The first digit indicates the number of the home park. Next - the number of transport equipment.
In the park they carry out repairs and maintenance, checkcondition of the machine, wash and clean in the cabin. It is in the trolleybus park that there is a personnel department where people can apply for employment by drivers, fitters, conductors.
Fire
Fire trucks must also be somewhere to stand andwait for the call. There they also carry out special equipment. The fire station is not only a building for the maintenance of fire equipment, but also the workplace of the Ministry of Emergency Situations employees.
Electrodepo
Trains in the subway, like any technique, alsoare strictly serviced on time, ongoing and unscheduled repairs are carried out. The subway train is an electrically mobile train. With the help of the shoes of the current collectors from the contact rail, each car receives energy.
Because they call not just a depot, but an electrodepo.After all, here the cars must also be fed via the network. Every employee of such an enterprise knows that he is working in a dangerous zone where high voltage is constantly supplied. Therefore, you need to closely monitor the signals.
Depot is an enterprise where wagons are not simply serviced, but have documentation, technical characteristics and much more.
Carriage
Any conductor will tell what they need beforetrip and then bring the car in order, to hand over locksmiths. The car depot is not very different from the trolleybus park and the metro depot. Everywhere the specifics are the same. They differ only in the technical process, the structure of service.
The car depots belong to the Russian Railways (RZD). There are both passenger and freight. These are separate enterprises. The passenger depot does not serve freight wagons and vice versa.
Locomotive
Suburban electric trains are officiallya recognized name for RZD: IMPS, which means a motorcar rolling stock. In order not to make a mistake with the search or the choice of an enterprise for servicing suburban electric trains, one must be guided by a locomotive depot. This enterprise is similar to a subway, only the power supply is provided by an upper current collector.
Electric locomotive
That passenger and freight cars couldthey need a locomotive. Such a locomotive can be either an electric locomotive or a locomotive. Like all vehicles, they are serviced and repaired at the depot depot, or they are sent from the depot to the rolling stock repair plant.
Tram
Tram - an integral part of the citytransport. If you really want to ride in a railway car, but there is no reason, a city dweller's dream will be fulfilled by a tram. After all, the car moves along rails, is powered from the contact network. Than not a mini train? The tram is serviced and repaired at the depot.
Like the drivers of trolleybuses, the wagon drivers and the conductors work in the tram depot. There they also teach tram drivers.
