FRTC Frankfurt (Шаблон:Lang, Шаблон:Lang) is a firefighting training facility at Eckenheim in Frankfurt am Main, Germany. It is notable for having its own standard gauge rail system and mock-Frankfurt U-Bahn underground station.[1] Шаблон:Routemap

Following two years of construction work, the centre opened in 2013 with an "open house" event for the public on 15 June 2013.[2] Шаблон:As of the facility had been open for six years, and remained one of the most modern in Germany.[3]

The facility additionally offers direct three-year training as a fire fighter.[4]

Rail system

In addition to the FRTC model U-Bahn station, the Fire Brigade also use a section of real underground tunnel at Frankfurt Hbf originally built for U-Bahn Line D[5]

The standard gauge rail system runs north‒south through the facility for 150 metres. The south end is laid as a tramway in a mock-residential area,[1] with a loading dock on the opposite side for industrial training.

In the middle section is a set of points between two S-bends.[6]

Straight on northwards from the set of points is an enclosed building containing the mock-underground station.[6] The U-Bahn station is equipped with real timetables.[1] The station platform signage permanently shows a Шаблон:Nowrap departure to Frankfurt (Main) Hauptbahnhof, via Frankfurt Konstablerwache station and Шаблон:Ill.

To the west of the U-Bahn station building is an industrial siding setting and loading dock with overhead line electrification as used on main line rail transport in Germany.[6]

Rolling stock

Шаблон:As of two piece of rolling stock were permanently located on the railway system, and can be shunted around depending on the required training scenarios.

A fifth generation Frankfurt U-Bahn U5 train Шаблон:Ill number 602 is based at the facility. The unit had been damaged during high-water flooding at the manufacturer and was cosmetically restored and stripped of useful parts before being sold to the Frankfurt fire-brigade.

The unit was delivered by Шаблон:Ill to the Шаблон:Ill for collection by the fire brigade. During a night-time rescue exercise the fire brigade towed train 602 along U-Bahn Line A to Шаблон:Ill. Road transport was used for the last metres to the training facility.[7]

The second piece of permanent railway stock is a four-wheel railway tank wagon provided by the Deutsche Bahn. The wagon was delivered (free-of-charge) by the Frankfurt harbour railway (Frankfurt City Link Line) to the East Harbour for collection by the fire brigade.[8]
