In the long Christmas Possession, a new heavy Anchor Boom was installed on the Great Eastern Line.

The two volumes of
"Oberleitungen für hochgespannten Einphasenwechselstrom in Deutschland, Österreich und der Schweiz"
by Georg Schwach were published in December 1989.

For many years they have been out of print.

Today, twenty years later,  we have the pleasure to give access to text, drawings and photographs in PDF format on Internet.

Furrer+Frey Conductor Rails have been installed in ÖBB's Matzleinsdorf Depot. A swivelling portion of conductor rail will swing away to allow the door to close tightly, and without the usual cut-out for the contact wire.

The swivelling portion of conductor rail can be seen inside the depot. On both sides Drop Pantograph Signs will protect the zone while the conductor rail is swung away.

Just in time for this year's Suissetraffic Exhibition F+F created novel solutions:

New Components for the FL200 System

End of Line Signal for DB and speed limit signals for SBB with light emitting Diodes.

For the renovation of a highway overbridge near Sargans a sub-structure had
to be built. By replacing the overhead contact line by a conductor rail the
necessary space could be freed.

Installation of the conductor rail in the zone of the tunnels has started.

Road-Rail Vehicles SBF 03 and SBF 05 are setting up steelwork, whilst the fitters are preparing the conductor rail cantilevers and conduct tests on the bolts. 

RFF regularly keeps you informed about the work in progress.
